Abstract: This paper aims at using a dilatant or shear thickening fluid (STF) [a non-Newtonian fluid consisting of particles of nano-silica suspended in a liquid medium, i.e., ethylene glycol (EG), which acts as a carrier fluid; ...

Abstract: The ability of latex to notably improve the performance of asphalt pavements has established the material as a favorable modifier in asphalt systems. However, the high viscosity of latex-modified asphalt (LMA) binders ...

Abstract: Five individual climate variables are required as climatic inputs in a pavement design using Pavement ME Design (PMED, a pavement design tool). While it is believed that all five climatic variables affect the distress ...

Abstract: In the field, the workability and compactability of asphalt mixtures are essential to obtain the desired smoothness and sufficient density of a compacted pavement, especially for the asphalt mixtures prepared at low ...
