Longer curing periods are found to decrease the strength of the soil-bitumen mix.

Longer curing periods are found to decrease the strength of the soil-bitumen mix. Correct Answer False

When the curing period is longer and the curing temperature provided is warmer, greater amount of volatiles are lost. Volatile content is inversely related to the strength of the soil-bitumen mixture. Hence, a longer period of curing results in strength gain.
