Every year road agencies allocated large budgets to road construction and there is a need
to implement more economically and environmentally sustainable practices. The …

An extensive literature review on the modelling of the linear viscoelastic (LVE) rheological
properties of bitumen over the last six decades is presented in this paper. The use of reliable …

The performance of asphalt pavement is seriously affected by aging of asphalt binder, so
indices are expected which can not only evaluate aging resistance of asphalt binder but also …

Inorganic nanofillers such as nano silica (nano-SiO 2) modifiers can enhance the
rheological and anti-aging performance of bitumen. However, nanoparticles are susceptible …

Using crumb rubber (CR) as an asphalt modifier not only realizes the recycling of waste tire
resources, but also significantly improves the asphalt pavement performance. However …

Using alternative extender as a substitute for bitumen is one of the most effective
approaches to construct asphalt pavements. In this study, the feasibility of using lignin as an …

This paper describes the polymer modification of road bitumens with SBS. Six polymer
modified bitumens (PMBs) were produced by mixing bitumen from two crude oil sources with …

This work presents a study on the potential use of recycled linear low-density polyethylene
(RLLDPE) as a substitute for virgin polymers to produce hybrid polymer modified bitumen …

The increased use of recycled asphalt materials in bituminous mixtures has led to increasing
interest in rejuvenators. Rejuvenators are primarily used to restore the rheological properties …

Nowadays, sustainability and circular economy are two principles to be pursued in all fields.
In road pavement engineering, they can be put into practice through the partial substitution …
