The work detailed in this report represents a continuation of the research performed in
phase one of this national pooled fund study. A number of significant contributions were …

Asphalt binder represents the main constituent of asphalt paving mixtures. The functional
performance and durability of asphalt pavements strongly depend on the rheological and …

In this paper, the combined effect of aging temperatures and cooling medium on the
rheological properties of asphalt binder was experimentally investigated and evaluated. Two …

ABSTRACT A linear viscoelastic model having a continuous spectrum is difficult to
implement in a finite element calculation. Then approximation of this model by a generalized …

The characterisation of asphalt binder at low temperature is of fundamental importance for
selecting and designing asphalt materials with good and durable performance in regions …

The use of recycled materials in asphalt pavements has increased significantly over the
years, with well-known environmental and economic benefits. However, the mechanism …

Abstract The Superpave Performance Grading (PG) framework or a variation of this
framework is often used as a purchase specification in the United States and as a tool to …

Asphalt binders have been shown to undergo significant time-dependent stiffening when
stored at low temperatures. This physical hardening has a significant effect on the laboratory …

The Hirsch model and the ENTPE transformation are commonly used to predict low-
temperature creep stiffness of asphalt binders from the corresponding asphalt mixture …

Using increased proportions of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in asphalt pavements
construction has become a top priority due to significant economic and environmental …
