Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

The sustainable performance of asphalt pavement depends on the quality and mix design of
road aggregates. Identifying aggregate morphology and size is a prerequisite step for …

Aggregate occupies at least three-quarters of the volume of asphalt mixture and can
significantly affect the performance of pavement. The geometrical morphology influences the …

The compaction process is the stage when the skeleton structure and strength of asphalt
mixture are developed. In order to explore the strength development mechanism of asphalt …

Inter-particle interaction is one of the major reinforcement mechanisms for aggregates in
asphalt mixture, which is a classic example of high-volume fraction particulate composites …

The densification properties of asphalt mixture are an external manifestation of aggregate
contact action, including the friction, interlocking and dislocation of aggregates as well as the …

Edge cracked semi‐circular shape specimen subjected to three point bend loading is a
favourite test specimen for determining fracture toughness of asphalt mixtures. However, in …

This study aims to investigate the lubrication behavior of asphalt binder on the basis of
Stribeck tribology theory, employing viscosity test, gyratory compaction test, and image …

Numerical simulation of concrete materials has become widely accepted, and modeling the
aggregate based on the actual material is critical. However, the particle shape control still …

The mechanical properties of asphalt mixture are always required for the evaluation of the
durability of pavements. In order to obtain these properties without conducting expensive …
