Abstract: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle measurements were conducted in the present research to analyze the characteristics of warm-mix rubber-modified asphalt during ...

Abstract: In order to explore the effect of aggregate type on the interface interaction between rubberized asphalt and aggregate, the representative molecules of base asphalt, rubberized asphalt, limestone (calcite), basalt (augite), ...

Abstract: To study the effects of aging and freeze–thaw cycles on the low-temperature performance of styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS)/crumb rubber (CR) composite modified asphalt mixtures. Digital image correlation (DIC) technology ...

Abstract: To calculate a more accurate flow number (FN) to evaluate the effects of temperature, long-term aging, and salt freeze-thaw cycles on the high-temperature creep deformation characteristics of warm-mix recycled asphalt ...

Abstract: To study the crack resistance of steel slag crumb rubber modified asphalt mixture (CR-steel slag) under salt freeze–thaw cycles, we selected styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-steel slag and CR-basalt as the reference group. ...

Abstract: In order to study the effect of water erosion on the adhesion characteristics of warm-mix crumb rubber-modified asphalt (WCR)-steel slag interface, hot-mix crumb rubber-modified asphalt (HCR) was used as the control group. ...

Abstract: The mineralogy of a soil susceptible to sulfate attack was investigated in detail, with particular attention paid to the sulfate and clay minerals. The soil from north Louisiana suffered sulfate attack when stabilized by ...

Abstract: Asphalt concrete exhibits rate- and time-dependent behavior, and therefore viscoelastic response analysis is necessary to model the pavement structure behavior and explain the distress mechanisms. The newly developed ...

Abstract: The occurrence of cracking, loosening, and other distresses in asphalt pavements is closely related to the failure of asphalt–aggregate adhesion. Studying the effect of asphalt film thickness on asphalt–aggregate adhesion ...

Abstract: Previous research has illustrated the exceptional shear resistance afforded by the rubber powder–modified asphalt gravel bonding layer. This study introduces an innovative interlayer torsional shear testing apparatus to ...
