Abstract: With the increasing number of vehicles and dynamic loads, the demand for more roads with higher quality is highlighted. Every year, a considerable portion of the national budget is spent on the rehabilitation of road ...

Abstract: In chemically treated soils, producing binding gels changes the soil structure and pore-size distribution, consequently affecting the treated soil-water-retention characteristics. Alkali-activated materials have recently ...

Abstract: Moisture damage is closely related to bitumen cohesion and bitumen-aggregate adhesion. Aging is among the factors affecting the occurrence of adhesion and cohesion failure by changing the adhesion and cohesion characteristics ...

Abstract: Moisture is an essential factor that can alter an asphalt mixture’s performance against fatigue cracking of hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Accordingly, this study investigated the impact of runoffs with various degrees of acidity ...

Abstract: The loss of strength and durability because of the presence of moisture leads to moisture damage in asphalt mixtures. Differences in the drinking water characteristics, used in moisture sensitivity tests, and runoff water, ...
