This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation that focused on the failure properties of asphalt binders at low temperatures. A novel test method was developed, based on the use of the dynamic shear rheometer equipped with 4 mm parallel plates. The method entails the application of constant shear strain rates at various temperatures until failure. Test data are modelled by means of the elasticviscoelastic correspondence principle and by thereafter referring to the shear stress at failure, to a purposely defined brittleness index and to a critical brittleness temperature. Results discussed in the paper, which refer to a preliminary set of experimental data, indicate that the proposed methodology may be very effective in evaluating and comparing low temperature failure properties of asphalt binders of various types and origins.
