Abstract: Concerns exist over the potential moisture damage and adhesion of asphalt mixtures. This research aims to evaluate the adhesion and moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures containing two nanomaterials [nano zycotherm ...

Abstract: Stone-matrix asphalt (SMA) is a type of hot-mix asphalt that can reduce the cost of maintenance and rehabilitation of pavements through decreasing the amount of permanent deformation during its service life. In addition, ...

Abstract: This study investigated the effect of waste toner as a cost-effective enhancement modifier on short-term aging and moisture resistance of asphalt binders and mixtures. Moreover, the mechanism of asphalt binder aging and ...

Abstract: There is a general trend toward improving the terminal blend process of producing rubberized asphalt mixtures. Recently, the addition of nanosized materials to strengthen the performance-related properties of terminal blend ...

Abstract: Physiochemical and rheological properties of asphalt binder are known to directly relate to asphalt pavement performance as it relates to fatigue and low temperature cracking. While other performance criteria such as rutting ...

Abstract: A novel approach is introduced for investigating the relationships between the electrical resistivity characteristics,

Abstract: Asphalt binder resistance to permanent deformation at intermediate temperature significantly affects overall pavement resistance to rutting. To enhance asphalt resistance to permanent deformation, researchers have used ...

Abstract: In this study, the ratio of dissipated-energy change (RDEC), developed based on the fundamental concept of energy, was used to investigate the healing potential of dense-graded asphalt mixtures having different types of ...

Abstract: In this paper an energy-based approach has been proposed based on the principals of nonlinear viscoelastic fracture mechanics to determine the thermal fatigue life of asphalt mixes for the short-term aging condition at a ...
