To further promote the development of research on direct-to-plant SBS-modified asphalt, this
article analyzes the development of direct-to-plant SBS modifiers. Starting from the material …

Digital image processing technology has been widely applied in various fields, and it is also
increasingly used in pavement material analysis in recent years. The objective of this review …

Thermal oxidation and ultraviolet exposure cause complex micro-scale chemical changes in
asphalt binders, leading to severe deterioration of pavements. The aging-induced evolution …

As a complex mixture, the composition-structure-mechanics relationship of asphalt binders
is not well-understood. Thus, it is essential to understand the relationship between chemical …

This study decouples effects of ultraviolet (UV) exposure on the surface and bulk properties
of bituminous composites. UV exposure accelerates oxidative aging of bitumen, but its …

In applications such as asphalt pavement and roofing shingles, bituminous binder not only
binds aggregate structure together but also acts as a waterproof sealant. However, moisture …

This paper examines morphological and nanomechanical changes as compositional
evolution occurs because of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in thin films of bituminous adhesives …

Moisture damage is one of the most intractable and costly pavement damage problems. Acid
compounds in bitumen are implicated in the increased risk of moisture damage at the …

Raman spectroscopy was studied as a thermal maturity probe in a series of Upper Devonian
Ohio Shale samples from the Appalachian Basin spanning from immature to dry gas …

The reuse of oxidized bitumen offers a viable solution to enhancing pavements'
sustainability and reducing consumption of virgin bitumen. As such use of reclaimed asphalt …
