The Asphalt Thermal Cracking Analyser (ATCA) is a device that can simultaneously test two asphalt mixture beams while undergoing selected thermal history. The first beam is unrestrained and thus the change of its length with temperature can be used to obtain glass transition temperature (Tg) and coefficients of thermal expansion or contraction. The second beam is restrained at the ends and can be used to measure the thermal stress build-up as a function of time and temperature. The measures of length change and stress in beams can be used to get a comprehensive evaluation of the low temperature performance including change in strain, stress as a function of time and temperature.
