Abstract: Aging, as an integral part of organic materials like asphalt binder, imposes a significant effect on chemical, physical, and performance-related properties of asphalt mixtures. One of the methods that has been proposed for ...

Abstract: In this paper, the combined effect of adding polyphosphoric acid (PPA) and distillate aromatic extracts (DAE) oil on rheological and mechanical characteristics of neat asphalt binder at high and low temperature is investigated. ...

Abstract: AbstractFollowing a comprehensive series of fatigue experiments on asphalt mixture and its subscales (mortar, mastic, and bitumen), this study utilized a 3D heterogeneous finite-element model including inclusions, matrix, ...
