Asphalt mastic, composed of asphalt and filler, is an important part of asphalt mixture. The
interaction between asphalt and filler, called asphalt-filler interaction, directly affects the …

Bitumen, a product mostly used as a binder in road construction, has been subject of
numerous scientific investigations with the goal to optimise its function as an engineering …

The objectives of this study is to develop a molecular modeling approach for studying
cohesive and adhesive properties of asphalt concrete and evaluate the accuracy of …

The presence of nano-silica can reduce the sensitivity to moisture damage of asphalt
mixtures and improve the anti-oxidation aging ability of asphalt binder. In the present work …

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 research investigated the influence of sea salt on the adhesion properties of bitumen–
aggregate systems by molecular dynamics simulations in order to fundamentally understand …

The detrimental effects of water in asphalt mixtures and its manifestation as distresses in
asphalt pavements were first recognised in the 1930s and have been studied extensively …
