• Double-edge-notched tension test (DENT)
• Critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD)
• Extended bending beam rheometer test (EBBR)
• Phase angle
• Asphalt specification
• Thermal and fatigue cracking

Test results are presented for 24 asphalt binders with the aim to compare various measures of durability. Surprisingly high correlations were found between disparate measures of durability but practical considerations make certain tests preferable. A comparison is provided between AASHTO M 320 grades, critical crack tip opening displacements, extended bending beam rheometer grades and grade losses, differences in limiting temperatures (Delta T-c), and simple limiting phase angle temperatures (T(delta)), on aged residues. The limiting phase angle temperature appears to be a convenient surrogate property that accurately predicts thermoreversible aging tendencies. Several binders performed poorly, likely because they contained unwarranted reclaimed asphalt.
