Project ID:	FHWA-PROJ-11-0175
Project Name:	Forensic Tool Box
Status:	Active
Contact:	Last Name: Arnold First Name: Terry Telephone: 202-493-3305 E-mail: terry.arnold@dot.gov
Organization:	Federal Highway Administration - Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC)
Office:	Office of Infrastructure Research and Development
Team:	Pavement Materials Team
Roadmap/Focus area(s):	Not Applicable Infrastructure Research and Technology Strategic Plan and Roadmap
Project Description:	The analysis method for antistrip additives will utilize thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to identify the type of liquid antistrip and the amount present in asphalt binders. X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis will be used to detect and measure the amount of recycled engine oil residue present in asphalt binders.
Laboratories:	Chemistry Laboratory
Start Date:	November 1, 2011
End Date:	December 31, 2013
Funding Amount:	$0.00
FHWA Program Name:	Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center
Goals:	One objective is to develop a test method to rapidly and accurately characterize and quantify the presence of liquid antistrip additives in asphalt binders. The second objective is to develop a quantitative test method for the analysis of asphalt binders for waste engine oil residues.
Project Type:	Onsite
