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 …

The adhesion property between asphalt binder and aggregate significantly influences
structural stability, service performance, and damage evolution of the asphalt mixture …

The lifetime cost and environmental footprint of asphalt pavements hugely depend on their
durability. It is widely accepted that water action plays a crucial role in the deterioration of hot …

The interfacial behavior between bitumen and aggregate is not well understood so far since
it is sensitive to various factors including chemistry of the components, morphology of the …

The adhesion of asphalt binders at micro/nano-scale remains one of the least understood
and explored areas of the constitutive characteristic of asphaltic composites. In this study …

Abstract Effects of loading rates on the adhesion between aggregate minerals and asphalt
materials were elucidated through combined simulation and experimental studies. Silica …

The surface roughness prior to adhesive bonding plays an important role in enhancing the
durability of composite materials. To obtain deep insight into the effect of aggregate surface …

In this work, stress variations during flexure of early age basalt fiber reinforced concrete
beams were studied using high resolution temporal measurements. An experimental system …

In this work, we studied stress variations occurring during flexure of early-age steel fiber
reinforced concrete beams. By preparing beams with different fiber volume ratios, four-point …

This paper presents a method of using particle probe scanning force microscopy to measure
the adhesion between steel microspheres and cement pastes. Particle probes were …
