A simple equation modeling non-Newtonian behavior of polymer-bitumens was proposed (which is a simplified version of the CROSS model). The equation used enables the calculation of zero-shear viscosity from viscosity measurements conducted under various shear conditions, that is, with rotational viscometer at different shear rates (stresses). Test results are presented of several polymer-modified bituminous binders before and after thin film oven test aging and discussion of non-Newtonian behavior. The wheel tracking test (Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussees) was conducted for asphalt concrete with several bituminous binders, either plain bitumens or polymer modified. To estimate bituminous mixture's rutting resistance, a new relationship has been proposed to calculate N sub 10 (wheel passes number to rut depth 10 mm). Close correlation was found between N sub 10 and zero-shear (or absolute) viscosity of binders at 60 deg C, both conventional and polymer modified.
