The paper presents the results and analysis of low-temperature properties of asphalt mixtures according to Thermal Stress Restrained Specimen Test (TSRST) and Indirect Tensile Test methods. Different groups of bitumen were investigated: neat, SBS-modified and highly SBS-modified. Influence of cooling rates (1 C/h, 3 C/h, 5 C/h and 10 C/h) and additives (aramid fibres and crumb rubber) was identified as well. Moreover, for each factor stiffness moduli were back-calculated from the TSRST results and analysed. The greatest impact on the TSRST results had type of bitumen, followed by the cooling rate and additives. Application of longer fibres improved low-temperature properties of the asphalt mixtures.
