Pavement and mix design represent one of the key components within the life cycle of a
road infrastructure, with links to political, economic, technical, societal and environmental …

Abstract Properties of aggregates are majorly influenced by parameters of source rocks viz.,
formation process, chemical composition, impurities, volume of pores, and grain size. The …

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 …

The loss of physical adhesion between the aggregate and the asphalt binder is one of the
important mechanisms that accelerate moisture damage in hot-mix asphalt pavements. In …

The utilization of carbon nanomaterials such as graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotube
(CNT) to modify asphalt binders is an innovative process. The feasibility of modifying asphalt …

This study examined the effect of five chemically different recycling agents on the long-term
performance and moisture sensitivity of modified aged asphalt binder. A control base binder …

The surface free energy (SFE) measurement of asphalt binder and aggregate is considered
a reliable mechanistic framework for evaluating the moisture-induced damage potential of …

One of the main distresses of hot mix asphalt (HMA) is moisture damage. The most common
method for decreasing this type of distress is using antistrip additives. In this study, the effect …

Quantitative analysis was conducted in this study using a three-dimensional field
microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and molecular …

Aiming to evaluate the effects of temperature and water on the adhesion characters of
asphalt-aggregate interface, the molecular dynamics MD) simulations was adopted in this …
