Without much more detail to your question, much depends on the grade of bitumen, the aggregate used and relative proportions in the specific mix. You may find the following texts useful -
Schönian. E. (Dr. Ing) 1999 - The Shell Bitumen Hydraulic Engineering Handbook. ISBN: 0 9535885 0 5.
Hoeg, K. (1993). Asphaltic Concrete Cores for Embankment Dams. Norwegian Geotechnical Institute. ISBN 82-546-0163-1
Creegan, P.J., & Monismith, C.J., (1996), Asphalt-Concrete Water Barriers for Embankment Dams, American Society of Civil Engineers, New York. ISBN 0-7844-0141-1.
Whiteoak, D., 1990 -The Shell Bitumen Handbook. ISBN: 0 95 16625 0 3
Also several texts published by the Asphalt Institute
Hope this helps

Shell bitumen has produced a useful book, you may find a copy under the
pavement or highway engineering section of a university library.

Dear all
I have a question about effect of bitumin in properties of asphaltic

Thank so much
