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

Asphalt binders play a crucial role in the fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt pavement,
making the characterization of their fatigue life increasingly important. To evaluate the …

The binder bond strength (BBS) test can directly quantify the bonding of bitumen-stone
joints. However, the index" bond strength" used in this method cannot provide a clear …

This paper investigated the damage healing, local life compensation and intrinsic healing
characteristics of asphalt binder. The damage healing (ΔS) is independent of damage level …

The self-healing ability of asphalt–aggregate bonding interfaces can maintain the
mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures. However, the interface's healing ability will also …

To investigate the water damage effects and aging mechanism of warm-mix asphalt (WMA)
after oxygen isolation and light–oxygen coupling ultraviolet (UV) aging, contact angle and …

The fatigue and self-healing characteristics of asphalt binders significantly influence the
performance and durability of asphalt mixtures. However, the intricate relationship between …

The adhesion between bitumen and minerals is essential for the durability of asphalt
mixtures, influenced by bitumen composition and mineral structure. The chemical action …

Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) is widely used to characterize the fatigue performance of
asphalt binder. However, the effect of the DSR gap size on the fatigue behavior of asphalt …

The adhesive properties of bitumen–mineral determine the ravelling and cracking resistance
of asphalt pavements. During service, asphalt pavements undergo a variety of ageing …
