Abstract: Laboratory evaluation of elastomer- and plastomer-modified asphalt binders using different grades of asphalt binders and produced asphalt concrete mixes is the subject of this paper. The evaluated polymer modifiers in this ...

Abstract: The type of the manufacturing technology as well as the reduced production temperatures of warm mix asphalt (WMA) always raise controversy about the early life and long-term performance of WMA mixtures, more specifically ...

Abstract: In this paper, research was conducted to evaluate and analyze the macromechanical properties and micromechanism of stone mastic asphalt (SMA) containing an eco-friendly fibrous substance, calcium sulfate whisker (CSW). The ...

Abstract: Although foamed warm mix asphalt (WMA) offers many potential benefits, there are some performance concerns. Researchers are making efforts to study the usage of different additives as modifiers to meet standard specifications ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to improve understanding of the aging characteristics of colored ultrathin overlay. In this study, a colored ultrathin overlay was prepared with a binder produced with a waterborne epoxy resin ...

Abstract: The performance of the recycled asphalt pavement is directly influenced by the content of the used regenerant (i.e., rejuvenator and/or unaged asphalt binder). The goal of this study is to optimize regenerant content ...

Abstract: Five individual climate variables are required as climatic inputs in a pavement design using Pavement ME Design (PMED, a pavement design tool). While it is believed that all five climatic variables affect the distress ...
