The detrimental effects of hardening in asphalt pavements were first recognized by
pioneering pavement engineers in the 1900s and have been studied extensively during the …

This paper presents an extensive review of the pertinent literature regarding asphalt and
asphalt mixture aging. Aging affects flexible pavement performance and is produced by …

This work aims to investigate the field aging effect on binder rheology and structure and to
establish the structure–rheological property relationships with the ultimate goal of predicting …

During the service life in a pavement, neat bitumen and modified bitumen age as the result
of the mixing with aggregates, the process of laying, the climatic conditions and the traffic …

Increase in traffic volume has led to a wider use of Polymer modified Bitumens (PmB's) in
road construction. Although the mechanical properties of such materials have been widely …

Reliable accelerated simulation of asphalt aging is of significant interest to asphalt
researchers and pavement practitioners alike. However, current laboratory aging protocols …

Oxidative aging is one of the significant environmental effects on asphalt pavement
performance. This study aims to characterize the aging viscoelastic property of asphalt …

Asphalt binder ageing alters its chemical and physical properties in a manner to make it
brittle and more susceptible to thermal and fatigue cracking. The ageing rate of asphalt …

Aging has long been recognized as a contributing factor to fatigue distress of asphalt
concrete pavement. Several research studies have been undertaken to gain fundamental …

Understanding asphalt binder aging in long-life hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements is
critically important for rational pavement design and construction practice. Using binder test …
