Abstract: During the last two decades, several test methods and performance-based test specifications have been developed to select asphalt binders for use under different traffic and environmental conditions. The test equipment and ...

Abstract: Several different modifiers are increasingly being used to improve the performance of asphalt binders (e.g., polymers) or to promote environmentally friendly technologies (e.g., warm-mix asphalt, ground tire rubber, and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of our study to investigate the influence of natural wax in asphalt binders, warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives, and reduced short-term aging on viscosity, stiffness, susceptibility to permanent ...
