Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess the performance of full-scale cold in-place recycled (CIR) asphalt sections using accelerated pavement testing (APT). A balanced mix design approach was followed to optimize the ...

Abstract: Adding an insulation layer above the frost-susceptible layer in regular pavement structures was proved to be an efficient way to mitigate the influence of climates, such as frost heave and thaw weakening, on pavements in ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and quantify the construction costs, energy costs, and environmental benefits of using cold in-place recycling (CIR) as a pavement rehabilitation technique. For this study, the costs ...

Abstract: This study investigated the compatibility of waste plastic, a serious environmental and recycling concern, with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) in asphalt binders. An extensive storage stability analysis of binders modified ...

Abstract: The aim of the study is to understand and achieve storage stable, compatible plastic-modified asphalt binders. In view of global plastic accumulation, the potentiality of polymeric waste plastics is evaluated as an asphalt ...

Abstract: This study involves using warm-mix additives (WMA) to produce binders that can aid compaction at low temperatures during cold weather paving. For this purpose, a performance grade (PG) 58-28 asphalt binder was chosen as a ...

Abstract: The addition of fibers to asphalt mixtures has the potential to improve the resistance of asphalt mixtures to cracking and permanent deformation (rutting). However, the state (distribution) of fibers in the asphalt mix is ...

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: Low-temperature cracking is the main distress in asphalt pavement in cold regions (such as the arctic and subarctic regions) as the climate in these areas is severe in winter. While soft asphalt binders (such as PG 52-34 ...
