Abstract: The continuous pollution of waste plastics to the ecological environment has attracted global attention. Using waste plastics in road construction can save energy, reduce pollution, and improve the high-temperature performance ...

Abstract: To clarify the effective load transfer capacity of asphalt mixture skeletons, granular material mechanics and the discrete-element method (DEM) were introduced to analyze the morphological characteristics of skeleton main ...

Abstract: Crumb-rubberized asphalt (CRA) binder has been widely used for several decades because it provides a nonhazardous disposal method for scrap tires and it improves some engineering properties of asphalt pavement. The energy ...

Abstract: Existing low-noise pavement has gradually lost its function with the development of urban road traffic. A poroelastic road surface (PERS), mainly composed of tire rubber granules, polyurethane, and aggregate, is considered ...

Abstract: Excessive surface temperature of asphalt pavement in summer is one of the main causes of urban heat islands (UHIs), so reducing pavement temperature is a potential research perspective for alleviating the UHI effect. This ...
