Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a research study that was conducted to evaluate the effects of asphalt binder and aggregate gradation on the rutting and cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures used in construction of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for analyzing the viscoelastic response of asphalt mixtures using the discrete-element method (DEM). Two unmodified (neat) and seven modified binders were mixed with the same aggregate ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to perform survival life analysis and life-cycle cost analysis of different patching methods and materials commonly used for winter pothole maintenance. To this end, a comprehensive ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a study that was conducted to evaluate the performance of field-produced aramid fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures used for resurfacing applications and compare it to that of polymer-modified ...

Abstract: In recent years, a new group of technologies has been introduced in the United States that allow producing asphalt mixtures at temperatures 30 to 100°F (16.7–55.6°C) lower than what is used in traditional hot-mix asphalt ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a research study that involved the construction of four test sections as part of a pavement-resurfacing project to examine the performance of different ground tire rubber (GTR)–modified ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a study that was conducted to evaluate the influence of different factors on the bond strength between a microsurfacing layer and an existing pavement structure. The considered factors ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a research study that used microscale and macroscale tests to examine the effects of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) source and RAP percentage on the cracking resistance of asphalt ...
