Rheological properties determine how bitumen responds to stress, strain, temperature, and time—essentially its flow and deformation behavior. They are critical because they influence the pavement’s ability to resist various distresses like rutting and cracking, helping engineers predict performance and select appropriate binders for specific conditions.
