Abstract: Marginal hard asphalt possesses high stiffness and modulus; however, due to poor ductility at low temperature, it was seldom applied into road structures. Increasing asphalt content seemed to be an effective way to minimize ...

Abstract: The Superpave mix design is a process of repeatedly optimizing the aggregate gradation and asphalt content in accordance with specified limits. As one of the important design parameters, the number of design gyrations ...

Abstract: An asphalt mixture has different tensile properties as compared with compressive ones due to the combined effect of aggregate interlock, binder stiffness, and aggregate-binder interactions. This study aims to investigate ...

Abstract: The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has brought enormous potential economic and environmental benefits to society. However, the cluster phenomenon of RAP particles in recycled hot-mix asphalt (HMA) has limited the ...
