The adhesion between asphalt binder and mineral aggregate directly determines the
performance of asphalt pavement, which could be effected significantly affected by light …

This study aims at investigating the moisture effect on nanostructure and adhesive energy of
asphalt-aggregate interface in asphalt mixture at atomistic scale. Molecular Dynamics (MD) …

This study is aimed to investigate debonding potential at asphalt-aggregate interface under
moisture environment and interface defect using molecular modeling. Moisture environment …

Semi-circular bending (SCB) test is widely used to characterize the fracture behaviors of
asphalt mixtures. In this study, heterogeneous models of SCB specimens were prepared …

Identifying the nature of the region where the mastic meets the aggregate surface (interfacial
transition zone, ITZ) is very helpful in understanding some mechanisms that govern the …

In the present study, basalt fiber was used to enhance the low-temperature performance of
asphalt mixtures in heavily frozen areas. By conducting three-point bending tests at various …

The interface between asphalt and aggregate directly determines the performance of
asphalt mixtures but unavoidable weaknesses can be easily found at the interfacial bonding …

Thermal conductivity of asphalt concrete determines the temperature distribution in asphalt
pavements and thus affects viscoelastic modulus of asphalt concrete and the microclimate …

Modeling is an important approach for describing the physical and mechanical properties of
asphalt, which can be employed to analyze the properties and optimize the performance of …

The traditional cohesive zone model (CZM) based on interfacial damage mechanics has
been widely used in quasi-brittle fracture simulation of asphalt mixture at low temperature …
