Mechanical behaviour of bituminous mixtures is characterized by the great thermal sensitivity and the large viscous effects. This paper focuses on the linear viscoelastic (LVE) behaviour of bituminous mixtures that is considered for pavement design. The studied material is a GB3 mix (GB in French is “Grave Bitume”) which is often used for base course construction in France.

In Vietnam, sulfur is a by-product of the oil and gas production process of Dung Quat oil refinery with an output of 18 tons per day. This output is expected to increase in the future and in other refineries produce. This study investigated some properties of SBB and HMAS according to the sulfur / bitumen ratio using materials in Vietnamese conditions and the variation of these properties of SBB, HMAS in different time to determine the appropriate time for sample maintenance before testing the mechanical properties.

The maintenance of road pavements in England has become a costly necessity, due largely to the large volume of commercial vehicles using the roads which cause pavements to deteriorate quickly, and makes their repair more difficult to carry out. These roadworks incur not only direct works costs, but also indirect costs from factors such as congestion, motor accidents and pollution. There is obviously a need for cost-effective maintenance that minimises the occurrence and duration of these disruptions.
