Abstract: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the healing capacity of steel wool–reinforced porous asphalt concrete. The healing is initiated with induction heating. Bending fracture tests on an elastic foundation are used ...

Abstract: Self-healing is one of the great potential processes for service-life extension of asphalt pavements. However, the underlying mechanism is not explained, and a proper way to measure it is not mentioned. It is necessary to ...

Abstract: In the past decades, montmorillonite nanoclay has been used successfully to strongly improve properties of polymers. Similar improvements to nanoclay modified bitumen were expected, so the montmorillonite nanoclay was ...

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of different surface characteristics on tire–road noise of thin-layer road surfacings by a statistical modeling method. The surface characteristics considered are surface texture and ...
