This article reviews the state-of-the-art application of AFM in the field of bitumen materials.
The working principle of conventional AFM and its derivative technologies including AFM …

Fatigue cracking is a common form of pavement failure and is strongly tied to the properties
of the asphalt binder used in the mix. The Superpave grading procedure is currently used in …

Although the same compaction degree is achieved in practice, asphalt mixture samples
prepared by different compaction methods often have different mechanical properties. In this …

An analytical model is developed for the mechanical degradation of asphalt cement and
mastic under repeated loading. The model is derived by applying the strain decomposition …

This paper presents the results of laboratory research on asphalt mixtures containing
reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and asphalt shingle, including the study of their linear …

The results of an experimental campaign performed on several bituminous mixtures using
ultrasonic wave propagation are presented in this paper. With regard to compression “P” …

Early failure of asphalt pavements is a common issue all around the world. Damages are
caused by various reasons like insufficient binder or aggregate quality, an inadequate mix …

This study discusses the effect of the filler on the fatigue behaviour of bitumen-filler mastics
by means of strain controlled fatigue tests, with constant and variable load amplitude …

The dynamic shear rheometer was used to investigate the effect of polyphosphoric acid
(PPA) and styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modification on the rheological and mechanical …

Considering the self-healing property of asphalt binders in material selection and pavement
design can help improve pavement performance and reduce maintenance costs. The study …
