Fractional Viscoelastic Study of Low-Temperature Characteristics of Biomodified Asphalt Binders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Introducing a New Test to Examine Moisture Susceptibility at the Interface of Bitumen and Stones
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel test method, the moisture-induced shear thinning index (MISTI), to evaluate the susceptibility to moisture damage at the interface of bitumen and siliceous stone aggregates. In the MISTI test, ...
Performance Evaluation of Using Waste Toner in Bituminous Material by Focusing on Aging and Moisture Susceptibility
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study investigated the effect of waste toner as a cost-effective enhancement modifier on short-term aging and moisture resistance of asphalt binders and mixtures. Moreover, the mechanism of asphalt binder aging and ...
Physiochemical, Rheological, and Oxidative Aging Characteristics of Asphalt Binder in the Presence of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physiochemical and rheological properties of asphalt binder are known to directly relate to asphalt pavement performance as it relates to fatigue and low temperature cracking. While other performance criteria such as rutting ...
Rutting Characteristics of Styrene-Ethylene/Propylene-Styrene Polymer Modified Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt binder resistance to permanent deformation at intermediate temperature significantly affects overall pavement resistance to rutting. To enhance asphalt resistance to permanent deformation, researchers have used ...
Comparing Effects of Biobinder with Other Asphalt Modifiers on Low-Temperature Characteristics of Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper examines effects of a new biobased modifier, “biobinder,” on low-temperature properties of asphalt binder and compares the results with those of conventional modifiers: crumb rubber, Gilsonite, styrene-butadiene-styrene ...
Physiochemical, Rheological, and Oxidative Aging Characteristics of Asphalt Binder in the Presence of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Physiochemical and rheological properties of asphalt binder are known to directly relate to asphalt pavement performance as it relates to fatigue and low temperature cracking. While other performance criteria such as rutting ...
Investigation on the Effect of Ethylene Bis(Stearamide) and Polyphosphoric Acid Modification of Bitumen for Paving Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this study, the mutual effect of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and ethylene bis(stearamide) (EBS) modification was examined on the high and low service temperatures and viscosity of a performance grade (PG) 58-22 asphalt ...
Formulation of Constitutive Viscoelastic Properties of Modified Bitumen Mastic Using Genetic Programming
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The objective of this study is to create explicit prediction models for the complex shear modulus (G*) and phase angle (δ) of bitumen mastic fabricated using an evolutionary machine learning approach. The dynamic shear ...
Introduction of Polymer Nanocomposites to Bitumen to Enhance its Thermomechanical Properties
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper examined the merits of using a polymer nanocomposite containing styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene (SEPS) and montmorillonite (MMT) clay to enhance bitumen thermomechanical properties. To investigate the effects ...
