Wax in asphalt is an important factor that affects the life cycle cost of flexible pavements. Due
to limitations in characterization methods for asphalt microstructure, deficiencies in our …

Asphalt materials exhibit intrinsic healing capabilities. Researchers have carried out
numerous investigations to characterize various aspects related to healing in asphalt …

Thermoreversible aging is an important factor leading to premature cracking in asphalt
pavement. In order to better understant the contribution of various pure waxes in asphalt …

In the early 1960s, increasing traffic demanded that transportation agencies use
progressively harder asphalt binders to prevent premature wheel path rutting. Using stiffer …

It is generally recognized in current research that asphalt binder is composed of four
components, ie, saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes, and the physicochemical …

Using wax-based warm mix additives allows contractors to lower production and compaction
temperatures of asphalt, thereby reducing greenhouse and other harmful gas emissions in …

Polymer modified asphalt is generally accepted to provide positive benefit/cost outcomes in
terms of extending pavement service life. It has recently been claimed that higher …

In order to study the influence of polyisobutylene (PIB) on pavement performance of asphalt
binders, two asphalt binders with large differences in wax content and the similar …

To gain deeper insights into the influence of thermal history on wax crystallization and
thermoreversible aging for enhanced asphalt pavement durability, this study employed the …

This paper documents and discusses the results of a study on the effects of oxidative and
thermoreversible aging on the intermediate limiting phase angle temperatures for six Latin …
