Abstract: Fatigue cracking in an asphalt mixture is a process whereby microcracks in the asphalt–aggregate interface propagate into extensive interconnected cracks under repeated loads. The fatigue performance of asphalt is influenced ...

Abstract: To better understand the fatigue damage characteristics of asphalt binders in a whole process, an energy-based mechanistic (EBM) approach was employed. A damage density is used to quantify the damage in the material. Two ...

Abstract: The construction temperature of commonly polymer-modified asphalt for thin overlay is high, and the asphalt is prone to aging, which affects the service life of pavement. In this research, polyurethane (PU) binder was used ...

Abstract: Long-term vapor exposure generates persistent moisture gradients across asphalt pavement sections, driving moisture diffusion into asphalt concrete (AC). Moisture in AC weakens the materials and exacerbates the action of ...

Abstract: Polyurethane-bound porous mixture (PPM) is a new type of pavement material that has shown some potential for overcoming common asphalt mixtures mechanical failures. However, little research has been done on its skid ...
