Physical and Rheological properties such as penetration, ductility, softening point, viscosity with Brookfield and DSR were analyzed in all the stages. Results from both rhe- ological and physical characterization show no variation between samples analyzed by RTFOT and PAV in comparison with the oRTFOT plus UV radiation during 100 hours periods. %K Asphalt aging %K short term aging %K long term aging %K RTFO %K PAV %K Ultra violet radiation %U http://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/ojs/index.php/revcie/article/view/3947
