Physical properties of pure bitumen 35/50 and polymer-modified bitumen 13/40 are studied using needle penetration test and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In particular, the mechanical response under indentation conditions is achieved as a function of different loads and temperatures. Our results show that lower temperature susceptibility is associated to larger loads but its change is rather small for the tested bitumens. A pure bitumen 35/50 exhibits a single glass transition temperature for different heating rate whereas modified bitumen 13/40 presents two Tg for different heating rate.
