Abstract: Asphalt mixes prepared using warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technology have similar capabilities to hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes for reducing emissions and energy consumption along with on-par performance. Recycled asphalt (RA) ...

Abstract: The performance of conventional or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes depends on the properties of the virgin and RAP binders. The fundamental characteristics of different materials often are used to explain the ...

Abstract: Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixes generally have good moisture and rutting resistance. However, the fatigue performance of the RAP mixes is a matter of concern because the RAP binder is generally brittle because of ...

Abstract: The healing properties of bituminous mixes prepared using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material are different from those of virgin mixes because the chemical characteristics of RAP binder blends are different (depending ...

Abstract: Experiences of highway agencies show that the costs of repairing rutting distresses are high. The common solution to overcome this issue is using a modified asphalt binder. The modifier enhances the asphalt binder’s ...

Abstract: The asphalt binder is exposed to aging conditions during production, placement, and service. This results in physical hardening, oxidation, and volatilization of the asphalt binder. The aging phenomenon affects the performance ...

Abstract: The present study aims to explain the dependency of different mechanical properties [penetration, softening point, viscosity, and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) parameters] and chemical parameters of reclaimed-asphalt ...
