Abstract

This paper presents a state-of-the-art discussion on the multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, from its origin to the most recent refinements in the standardized protocols and the current statuses of the investigations in the literature. It covers the most fundamental aspects of MSCR as follows: (a) the need for a test that could reasonably represent rutting performance of binders in the pavement; (b) a critical literature review of the publications that investigated the technical feasibility of MSCR in estimating the actual resistance of the asphalt pavement to rutting based on binder data; (c) examples of rheological models to describe binder behavior under repeated creep and its nonlinear features; and (d) some tests and parameters that might replace MSCR in the characterization of the rutting behavior of binders. It is believed that the study will provide researchers and highway agencies with valuable insights about the benefits and limitations of MSCR, together with proposed technical advances that can be applied to better simulate actual loading and temperature conditions experienced by the binder in the pavement.
