Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

Oxidative ageing and moisture damage are key factors in bitumen degradation and asphalt
pavement deterioration. The effects of oxygen and moisture on bitumen are governed by …

In the context of climate change and global warming, the attention on the environmental cost
of pavements is increasing. To scientifically quantify the environmental cost of pavements …

Crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) can be considered as a binary composite system
where rubber particles are embedded in the bitumen matrix. The bitumen-rubber interaction …

Semi-flexible pavement (SFP) material has been promoted to apply in pavement
engineering mainly for its excellent performance in rutting resistance. But its mechanical …

Asphalt pavement performs viscoelastic-viscoplastic behavior under traffic loadings during
its service life. The heterogeneous internal structure formed by the randomly distributed …

Fine aggregate matrix (FAM) refers to the mixture of asphalt binder and fine aggregate in
asphalt mixture. The viscoelastic properties, such as the complex modulus of FAM, directly …

Within the pavement engineering community, porous asphalt (PA) mixes are regarded as
mixes capable of reducing noise and improving wet skid resistance. However, these mixes …

Abstract A three‐dimensional (3‐D) locally homogeneous model for asphalt mixtures is
presented in this study, which can effectively balance the simulating accuracy and …

The mechanical properties of asphalt mixture are always required for the evaluation of the
durability of pavements. In order to obtain these properties without conducting expensive …
