The failure of bituminous pavements takes place due to heavy traffic loads and weather-
related conditions, such as moisture, temperature, and UV radiation. To overcome or …

A comprehensive review using natural rubber in the modification of bitumen used for road
construction is presented in this paper. The sources, types and properties of natural rubber …

Inorganic nanofillers such as nano silica (nano-SiO 2) modifiers can enhance the
rheological and anti-aging performance of bitumen. However, nanoparticles are susceptible …

Significant volumes of waste materials such as plastics is generated every year worldwide
with a potentially harmful impact on the environment. At the same time, the demand for …

To meet the high temperature and anti-reveling properties required in open-graded friction
course, high content polymer modified asphalt (HCPMA) is gradually widely used in China …

The impacts of two different groups of polymers on the mechanical and rheological
properties in a hard base asphalt were investigated. One group was modified with a reactive …

Asphalt mixture stiffness is a key property in any pavement long-life performance analysis; it
is used to predict a material's strain response for any given applied stress. To accurately …

In recent times, the use of polymer nanocomposite for construction of durable asphalt
mixtures has been gradually replacing the application of polymer-modified binders. In this …

Although the same compaction degree is achieved in practice, asphalt mixture samples
prepared by different compaction methods often have different mechanical properties. In this …

Nowadays, sustainability and circular economy are two principles to be pursued in all fields.
In road pavement engineering, they can be put into practice through the partial substitution …
