Improving the mechanical properties of bitumen is an important goal for road pavements
design. For this reason, new compounds are now being sought for testing as bitumen …

This work aims to use wax to modify a binder employed in the paving industry. This wax can
be obtained either directly or as a by-product from plastic waste′ s thermal cracking …

Bituminous binders are thermal-dependent visco-elastic materials commonly used in
pavement engineering. However, synthetic binders represent quite a new family of products …

This study addresses the need for effective rejuvenators in asphalt concrete mixtures
containing Vacuum Tower Bottom (VB) binder, a by-product of petroleum refining. We …

Recently, the feasibility of using bio-materials to reduce or completely replace the use of
bitumen in asphalt mixture has gained increasing attention. Amongst others, an interesting …

This study addresses the imperative for enhancing asphalt mixtures tailored for rural
pavements, focusing on optimizing RAP mixtures with styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) …
