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 ...
