Abstract: The rheological properties of asphalt binder have a great influence on asphalt pavement performance, particularly in terms of rutting, thermal, and fatigue cracking. The current asphalt specifications, such as those used ...

Abstract: Neat asphalt binders lack the proper viscoelastic balance that usually occurs when an effective elastic network is created by molecular association. It is hypothesized that proper viscoelastic balance can be formed by ...

Abstract: Temperature is one of the most important factors affecting the design and performance of pavement. Temperature variations within the pavement structure contribute in many different ways to distress and possible failure of ...

Abstract: This investigation was conducted to assess the efficacy of the Clegg impact hammer (CIH) for estimating the strength of compacted soils by conducting a comparative study between the California-bearing ratio (CBR) and CIH ...
