Abstract: Understanding the diffusion of moisture in asphaltic materials is crucial because it yields key insights into the moisture-induced damages of asphalt pavement. In this work, the molecular dynamics simulation technique was ...

Abstract: The surface roughness prior to adhesive bonding plays an important role in enhancing the durability of composite materials. To obtain deep insight into the effect of aggregate surface roughness on the interfacial properties ...

Abstract: Interfacial strength between asphalt binder and aggregate plays a vital role in maintaining the mechanical integrity of asphalt mixture. Given the lack of accurate testing instruments for the interaction of asphalt–aggregate ...

Abstract: The international roughness index (IRI) is an important parameter for road surface roughness assessment, which is crucial for road safety. This study developed a road roughness prediction model for predicting the IRI of ...

Abstract: Output of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) can be classified as several different types of residues, of which bottom ash is a primary by-product. Utilization possibilities other than landfilling the incineration ...

Abstract: The performance of an asphalt binder is closely related to its microstructure. Understanding the properties of asphalt binders at the nano/microscale may help to improve knowledge of their macroperformance. The emergence ...

Abstract: Using the Moon’s natural resources to build infrastructure is the first step toward lunar colonization. Lunar regolith, rich in aluminosilicate, has the potential to prepare geopolymer for construction. In this paper, ...
