Roads that last long!!!

Life journey has always ups and downs, just like a travel in the road where it has always been a bumpy ride,
Reasons and conclusions maybe different, but, major reason is, asphalt is completely different from all assumptions.
Though it belong to a rich class "polymers", it is still considered a cheap material,
There are fifty major asphalt companies in US and Canada,
All these are called pavement industry and none a polymer industry;
Thus, it needs only a civil engineer and not a chemist.
So, the test focuses on just one property, "strength",
"Shall we increase the thickness of pavement?", a typical civil engineer's thought;
Even brick and cement hardens at low temperature, but asphalt is considered to a hard stone.
Cracking is not a mere surface phenomenon,
Three point bending test at low temperature, with sufficient cooling equivalent to that of cold spell differentiates out good performing ones much clearly;
Ductile failure of notched specimen, which is equivalent to pulling the last layer to failure, answers spring thawing;
These test methods are currently implemented in Ontario province as a trial;
This is huge step forward considering the history of asphalt testing.
Besides, elastic recovery test after merely three hour of conditioning at low temperature gives same accuracy,
Acceptance of these test methods results in a huge loss to the industries, better quality asphalts, long lasting roads and above all a smooth ride in road.
