      Thesis title: Evaluating the low-temperature behavior of master curve of modified binder and investigating the alpha parameter in LAS testIn the first phase, this study investigates the accuracy of the low-temperature region in the modified binder master curves, through frequency sweep and BBR tests. The cyclic loading pattern in BBR testing was also used to better calibrate the viscoelastic model and evaluate the existing conversion methods. In the second phase, the damage evolution rate (alpha parameter) of modified binders and its importance were studied. Different calculation methods of this parameter were also evaluated. Show less
