Asphalt binders, an indispensable component in road infrastructure construction and
maintenance, have been utilized for centuries in the roads. While binders have …

In order to study the low-temperature characteristics and microstructure of asphalt under
complex aging conditions, ductility test and BBR test were used to study the effects of …

Oxidative aging is one of the significant environmental effects on asphalt pavement
performance. This study aims to characterize the aging viscoelastic property of asphalt …

Oxidative aging is caused by oxygen diffusion into the binder when an asphalt pavement is
exposed to the atmosphere. Aging can lead to increased susceptibility to pavement damage …

Aging has a significant effect on the performance of asphalt material. Reliable modelling of
the change of asphalt mixture properties over time is crucial to evaluating and predicting the …

Mechanistic-empirical models are developed in this study to characterise top-down cracking
(TDC) initiation of asphalt pavements. TDC initiation phase is defined as a stage for micro …

Field material testing provides firsthand information on pavement conditions which are most
helpful in evaluating performance and identifying preventive maintenance or overlay …

The oxidative aging of asphalt binder affects the long-term performance of flexible
pavement. Apart from the intrinsic property of asphalt binder, binder aging in an asphalt …

Although extensive work has been performed to quantify field aging of asphalt pavements
and to evaluate its effect on asphalt mixture properties, little effort has been devoted towards …

This paper investigates the effect of different anti-ageing compounds (AACs) on the
oxidation kinetics of bitumen using Fourier Transformation Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy …
