Master curves construction for viscoelastic functions of bituminous materials
Abstract: The performance of bituminous materials is often evaluated using rheological properties measured within the linear viscoelastic region. If there is a univocal temperature dependence of all the relaxation times, data obtained in different operating conditions can be translated onto a logarithmic scale where they partially overlap and merge into a single master curve. This is the well-known time–temperature superposition principle that has been successfully applied for decades. However, the empirical nature of the method has led to many different procedures being used for the graphical construction of the master curve. In addition, the continuously increasing calculating power has led to new approaches, such as the simultaneous modelling of the represented viscoelastic function. Losing track of the basic statements of the method is the hidden drawback of this wide range of available protocols with the risk of artefacts and incongruences being introduced in the construction of the master curves. This review summarizes these basic statements together with the empirical and phenomenological approaches developed over the years. The aim of this study is to help the reader in choosing the most appropriate method to build the master curves. Although the subject of the review is of general application, the field of bitumen is focused on.
