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

The adhesion property between asphalt binder and aggregate significantly influences
structural stability, service performance, and damage evolution of the asphalt mixture …

The oxidative aging effect of asphalt binder was investigated using molecular dynamics
simulation in this study. Representative molecular models of aged asphalt were built by …

The presence of nano-silica can reduce the sensitivity to moisture damage of asphalt
mixtures and improve the anti-oxidation aging ability of asphalt binder. In the present work …

The objectives of this study is to develop a molecular modeling approach for studying
cohesive and adhesive properties of asphalt concrete and evaluate the accuracy of …

The rejuvenator effects on aged asphalt are easily influenced by multiple physical conditions
such as ultraviolet irradiation, overheating and water exposure. In this study, a multiphysics …

The asphalt industry's incentive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has increased since
the 1990s due to growing concerns on environmental issues such as global warming and …

This study aims at investigating the moisture effect on nanostructure and adhesive energy of
asphalt-aggregate interface in asphalt mixture at atomistic scale. Molecular Dynamics (MD) …

Moisture damage has been reported as one of the main forms of distress in asphalt mixtures
since the 1900s. The bond between asphalt aggregate constituents fails in the presence of …

Thermal oxidation, ultraviolet radiation and water significantly affect the aging of asphalt
pavement, and the aging causes more serious emissions into aqueous environment. This …
