Abstract: Capsules containing waste mineral oil can delay the maintenance of asphalt mixtures by preventing the spread of cracks. As a result of the encounter between the crack and capsule, the capsule breaks and releases the ...

Abstract: For the last 20 years, researchers have been looking for ways to modify asphalt binders to improve their rheological and thermophysical properties. The application of composite modifiers to enhance the rheological ...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of the numerical approach in realistic support design for tunneling. The Komurhan Tunnel, which is to be constructed between the Elazig–Malatya highway, located east ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study to evaluate the mechanical and crack-healing properties of stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixtures with encapsulated rejuvenators. With this goal, calcium alginate capsules with ...

Abstract: Hot-mix asphalts are composite materials with self-healing properties: cracks in pavements constructed with these asphalts can close without external help. However, this self-healing process is slow, and cracks may reopen ...

Abstract: Self-healing asphalt with encapsulated rejuvenators is a promising technology to improve the service life of asphalt pavements. Broken capsules reduce the viscosity of aged bitumen due to rejuvenator diffusion, sealing ...
