Rheology of asphalt concrete and its performance characteristics

Rheology is the branch of physics that deals with the deformation and flow of materials. It encompasses both solids and fluids and studies how materials respond to applied forces over time. In the context of civil and pavement engineering, rheology primarily focuses on viscoelastic materials like asphalt binders and mixtures, which exhibit both viscous and elastic behavior depending on the temperature and loading conditions.
