Recovered binders from a Swiss long term pavement performance (LTPP) study have been investigated with dynamic shear and bending beam rheometer to evaluate whether superpave binder tests reflect LTPP better than traditional tests. In addition, tests were performed to quantify changes that may occur due to long-term storage at room temperature. The results show that the new superpave binder tests are valuable tools to assess binders from old pavements but should be further analyzed, for example, by master curves and Black diagrams. It was found that on a large scale basis superpave binder tests lead to a ranking similar to traditional tests, especially for warm temperature characteristics. As, on the other hand, traditional tests are often the only link to original pavement data, this type of tests should still be performed in parallel for LTPP studies. Finally, it was found that long-term storage may reduce the penetration considerably.
