Abstract: The utilization of acidic aggregates in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is often inevitable due to the limited supply of locally available aggregates, posing a potential threat of moisture damage to asphalt pavements. In this regard, ...

Abstract: Locking point is an important concept in selecting a proper aggregate gradation in the asphalt mixture design. The locking point can be defined as the moment during asphalt mixture compaction at which an aggregate structure ...

Abstract: Aggregate gradation is crucial for the performance of asphalt mixtures. However, the adequate mix design must include the compromise between performance and workability. This study used two compaction methods: the impact ...

Abstract: The modified boiling test based on image processing has gained significant attention in recent years, aimed at replacing subjective visual observation with an objective measurement. However, there are still some unsolved ...

Abstract: A modified loaded wheel tester, asphalt pavement analyzer (APA), was employed to evaluate the reinforcement effect of geogrids on unbound granular base course materials by applying simulated repeated wheel loads on the ...
