This document specifies a general method of using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) for measuring the rheological properties of bituminous binders. The procedure involves determining the complex shear modulus and phase angle of binders over a range of test frequencies and test temperatures when tested in oscillatory shear. From the test, the complex shear modulus, |G*|, and its phase angle, δ, at a given temperature and frequency are calculated, as well as the components G' and G'' of the complex shear modulus. This method is applicable to un-aged, aged and recovered bituminous binders. WARNING -The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.
