Aging of asphalt binders is one of the main causes of its hardening, which negatively affects
the cracking and fatigue resistance of asphalt binders. Understanding asphalt aging is …

The present research work was undertaken to evaluate the rutting performance of carbon
nanotube (CNT)–modified asphalt binders. Additionally, intermediate-temperature …

This paper presents a viscoelastic fatigue and fracture (VEFF) modeling and its preliminary
application to asphalt binder under cyclic loading. Both traditional time sweep (TS) fatigue …

Production of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) involves high mixing and compaction temperatures,
which leads to the emission of greenhouse gases and high fuel consumption. Recently …

Currently the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) test is one of the main fatigue protocols to
estimate the fatigue resistance of asphalt binder. In past 10-years, several data interpretation …

In recent years, the wax-based warm mix additives are always doped into the asphalt to
lower the construction temperatures, which can lead to the substantial energy savings and …

Improvement in rheological performance of asphalt binder with the addition of crumb rubber
(CR) depends on the interaction between CR and the asphalt binder matrix. Overall, the …

Wax warm additives are widely used in asphalt mixture production due to their energy
savings and low cost. However, the compatibility problem between waxes and asphalt …

Understanding of the healing behavior of asphalt binder is critical for fatigue modeling of
asphalt paving materials. Binder-healing characterization based on the traditional time …

Waste polymers have been employed as a modifier in bitumen to improve the performance
of the binders and reduce plastic pollution. Grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) is a method to …
