Abstract: A new simple test device is proposed to directly measure the critical temperatures for thermal cracking of asphalt binders. Using the dissimilar coefficients of thermal expansion for asphalt binders and common metals, the ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new technique for improving the damping property and efficiency of an energy regenerative damper. It is intended for a linear DC motor type vibration damper to regenerate ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a study that was conducted to evaluate the performance of field-produced aramid fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures used for resurfacing applications and compare it to that of polymer-modified ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a research study that involved the construction of four test sections as part of a pavement-resurfacing project to examine the performance of different ground tire rubber (GTR)–modified ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a study that was conducted to evaluate the influence of different factors on the bond strength between a microsurfacing layer and an existing pavement structure. The considered factors ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes the results of a research study that used microscale and macroscale tests to examine the effects of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) source and RAP percentage on the cracking resistance of asphalt ...
