ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®©
RATIONAL ASPHALT
TECHNOLOGY®© FEATURES
The RATIONAL ASPHALT TECHNOLOGY®© Is 'Built In' The
ASPHALT EXPERT SYSTEM ®©.
In Combination With ‘Cutting Edge’ Optimization Technologies One Has In
Hands The Mightiest Mind Tool Ever Invented For The Asphalt Industry.
THE NEW RATIONAL THINKING ON OLD SUBJECTS
THIS SYSTEM IS BACKED UP WITH HARD
EVIDENCE
*****
The Prime Features Of RATIONAL ASPHALT
TECHNOLOGY®© Are The Following:
I Comprehensive RATIONAL ASPHALT MODEL ®©
II
THE ASPHALT LAWS ®© - Regulate Behavior Of Asphalt
Mixtures
·
The Law Of OPTIMUM SKELETAL 'PACKING'
·
The Law Of COMPACTION
·
The Law Of BINDER DISTRIBUTION
·
The Law Of POROSITY
·
The Low Of ‘Spatial’ DISTURBANCES WITHIN
BITUMINOUS MORTAR
·
The
Law Of ‘SPATIAL COMPETITION’ (Explains MECHANISM OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION)
·
The Law
Of RE-GRANULATION
And
