The complex modulus (E*) and phase angle (δ) are fundamental viscoelastic (VE) properties
of asphalt material, crucial for pavement performance analysis and modeling. This study …

As a waste stream from charcoal production, the liquid bio-oil has not been properly used,
leading to both environmental and economic issues. In this study, this deleterious waste was …

The linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test has been used widely in the last decade as an
effective tool for evaluating the fatigue behavior of asphalt binders. However, a simple to …
