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

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 …

Abstract Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs) have poor dispersibility in bitumen and limited
effectiveness in enhancing its thermal oxidative aging resistance. To address these issues …

The ageing of bitumen is an inevitable phenomenon which is still challenging to be
characterised. This paper aims at evaluating the ageing degrees of bitumen …

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 …

Thermoreversible aging is an important factor leading to premature cracking in asphalt
pavement. In order to better understant the contribution of various pure waxes in asphalt …

Sustainable bio-oil, as a modifier and partial substitute for asphalt binder, is potentially
reducing dependence on non-renewable petroleum asphalt in pavement engineering …

The ageing of bitumen has received great attention both from a chemical and rheological
perspective due to its direct impact on asphalt performance. However, open questions with …

This research experimentally investigated the low-temperature thermal cracking
performance of waterborne epoxy asphalt emulsion (WEA) mastic. A total of sixteen WEA …

Chitosan derived from shrimp shells (SSPCH) was used for the first time as a biological
biopolymer to modify the properties of bitumen across high, medium, and low-temperature …
