Bitumen, a product mostly used as a binder in road construction, has been subject of
numerous scientific investigations with the goal to optimise its function as an engineering …

Incorporating reclaimed asphalt (RA) in surface layer mixtures is still limited due to
performance concerns, and it becomes even more challenging when combining aged …

There is a general trend toward improving the terminal blend process of producing
rubberized asphalt mixtures. Recently, the addition of nanosized materials to strengthen the …

To increase the resistance to permanent deformation of mastic asphalt mixtures while
maintaining workability, the use of additives has become common practice. Latter include …

The ageing phenomenon in asphalt and its binding medium, the bitumen, is well
documented in the scientific literature with regard to its rheomechanical effects. To …

Fibres have been introduced in the asphalt industry to improve the tensile strength and
