This summer, the Asphalt Institute released its newest title, MS-26, The Asphalt Binder Handbook. The 223-page book is devoted entirely to information about asphalt binders or bitumen. “This book brings together, in one location, everything about asphalt binder that the Asphalt Institute has,” said author R. Michael Anderson, P.E., director of research and laboratory services at AI.
The book is a compilation of information previously found in its existing titles such as Superpave Performance
Graded Asphalt Binder Specification and Testing, Asphalt Handbook, Basic Asphalt Emulsion Manual, and others. MS-26 also features new information on Multiple-Stress Creep Recovery tests, the generation of master curves, testing variability and more.
“This book is for anyone in the asphalt industry who wants to know more about liquid asphalt,” said Anderson. It’s available at Amazon.com and other booksellers, as well as from the Asphalt Institute.
