ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®© FAQ:
What Is RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®©?
RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© Is Advanced Rational/LOGIC
Applied In
Design, Testing, and Performance
Evaluation of Asphalt Materials (aggregates, binders, modifiers and mixtures)
To Prevent Or Anticipate
Long-Term Pavement Distress/Damage And
To Optimize Asphalt Mixtures For The Specific
Applications And Environments.
RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© is a result of twenty years of
world-class asphalt research and globally validated practice.
RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© has very advanced understanding of
the relationship between highway/road/runway performance
and the nature of the
asphalt used in the pavement.
The fact is
that PERFORMANCE of Any Asphalt Mixture depends on its FUNCTIONAL
CONSTITUENTS
in relation to the specific combination
of ‘outside’ factors.
In
other words, a designed HMA must fit the specific ’outside’ requirements in any,
including ’critical’, scenario development.
A. The
Technology Has The Unique Capacity To Generate OPTIMUM SOLUTION or TO SELECT
LEVEL OF SOLUTION, Almost In Any Given Situation.
B. It
Delivers Valid QCQA & Performance Based Criteria
C. Those
Criteria Are Derivations From The Asphalt Laws - Laws That Govern Physical Behavior
Of Asphalt Material and Its Functional Constituents.
D. Such
’All-Inclusive’ Control Paves The Way For Optimum Product Quality And Cost
Efficiency.
E. ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®©
Knowledge Base Consists Of Valid Rules And Data Directly Derived From RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®©.
The
RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© is a system of highly organized, verified
knowledge,
mostly
substantiated in mathematical and logical algorithms that relate HMA functional
elements
to
the ALL RELEVANT influential parameters providing the reliable solutions
for
any given, including CRITICAL 'SCENARIO',
DEVELOPMENT
It Allows A User To Rationally Predict
Developments And Play With Various Options Always Knowing What Is Going To
Transpire.
***
Fabric of RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© is
made of the following LAWS:
·
The Law of Skeletal 'Packing',
·
The Law of Compaction,
·
The Low of Re-granulation,
·
The Law of Porosity,
·
The Law of Inter-granular Binder
Distribution,

The Law of ‘Spatial Disturbance’ Within Bituminous Mortar, etc.
USING RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© BRINGS TANGIBLE BENEFITS:
·
This Rational Makes Possible a Massive
Reduction in Error Cumulating to the Insignificant Margins
·
This Rational ’Takes Care’ Of The
Energy Transfer To / From The System Parameters (Compaction,
T-gradients, Chemical Interactivity, etc.)
·
This Rational Expands Use Of Constituents
And Modifiers.
·
This Technology Covers Every
Imaginable Aspect and Issue In The Field – beginning with RATIONAL Selection of
Input Material...all the way to Rational Approach to Constructability
(Workability & Compactibility).
·
It Paves The Way For Valid
Verification Status Analyses And The Other Never Seen Before Expertise.
·
This Rational Brings SAVINGS replacing
mistaken ’rational’ and often incompetence that led to wrong Technical &
Business Decisions with OPTIMUM ASSET MANAGMENT
The RATIONAL
ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY ®© ‘Built‘ In Asphalt Expert System ®© Is Marvelous Solver And Troubleshooter.
The Bigger Challenge
The More You Will Be Pleased With The Outcome.
