Popis: A dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) setup, with a modified test geometry specifically developed for the mortar, was used to conduct time and frequency domain tests. The mortar was composed of a pure bitumen, filler and fine fractions of sand. In the test setup two mounting procedures were compared and the one that delivers better test result repeatability was selected. Test results obtained from frequency domain tests were used to construct a master curve using time-temperature superposition principle (TTS). Time domain material functions were obtained from the master curve by using frequency-time domain inter-conversion. In this process a series of Kelvin-Voigt element were used. Using material parameters obtained from frequency domain results, creep-recovery tests in time domain were simulated using a Matlab program. Results show a very good agreement with experimentally obtained creep-recovery data.
