Abstract: Embedded encapsulated rejuvenators have been proven to enhance the crack-healing ability of asphalt. This healing mechanism is autonomous as it is triggered by the energy resulting from the axles’ passages on the road: an ...

Abstract: The sewage treatment plants generate, as by-products, large amounts of sludge containing harmful elements to the environment. This paper investigates the possibility of using 10% of sewage sludge by weight in pavement base ...

Abstract: Asphalt binder draindown is a potential issue related to stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures. One convenient approach for reducing binder drainage is the use of fibers as stabilizing additives. This study assesses the ...

Abstract: Fine-grained soils that expand when in contact with water can be a major issue in some geotechnical situations, but the soil can be stabilized through chemical means by hydrated lime incorporation. However, there is not ...

Abstract: Research intends to improve the durability of asphalt binder and its performance related to rutting and fatigue life. Nanotechnology has been used in many sectors over the years, such as the chemical industry, automotive ...

Abstract: Self-healing of asphalt is a potential way to increase the service life of road surfaces. In the past, scientists have employed various methods to enhance the self-healing abilities of asphaltic materials. One of these ...
