The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has been working toward the
implementation of balanced mix design (BMD) for several years. During that time, special …

This study investigated the effects of polymer modified bitumen emulsion production
methods on the microstructural properties of modified binders and the mechanical properties …

Fatigue cracking is one of the principal failure modes of asphalt pavement. The chief factors
affecting the fatigue failure of asphalt pavement are load, environment, pavement structure …

Abstract Dynamic modulus (| E∗|) and phase angle (δ) are necessary for determining the
response of asphalt mixtures to in-service traffic and thermal loadings. While a number of …

Performance of asphalt mixture is highly influenced by oxidative aging. A considerable
amount of research has been dedicated to study the aging process of asphalt binder, while …

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), like many owner agencies, is interested
in ways to facilitate the increased durability of asphalt mixes in an effort to make its roadway …

The use of un-conventional materials in asphalt pavements is becoming popular as DOTs in
many countries started to legislate their in the paving industry. The motive behind this is to …

The preservation of structurally sound airfield pavements is critical for the capacity of the air
transportation network. As a standard practice, the design and evaluation of flexible airfield …

This study investigates the dependence of overlay field cracking performance on overlay
thickness and fracture energy of asphalt mixture. A total of 15 pavement sections in …

To identify the most accurate approach for constructing of the dynamic modulus master
curves for warm mix crumb rubber modified asphalt mixtures and assess the feasibility of …
