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 …

Recent studies have shown that in addition to ambient temperature, time-dependent factors
such as temperature cycles and freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) affect the speed of creation and …

Recycling reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has attracted extensive attention for its
environmental sustainability. As a typical industrial solid waste, steel slag with magnetic …

Asphalt mixtures suffer from different types of cracking such as low-temperature cracks
(LTCs) and intermediate-temperature cracks (ITCs). These two types of cracking may occur …

Although the use of polymeric additives has been widely accepted as a promising strategy to
improve broad spectrum of pavement deficiencies, aging-induced mechanisms of polymer …

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been developed for producing cleaner products than other
asphalt mixtures. However, fractures caused by structural factors (microcracks caused by …

This research investigates the effects of asphalt mixture aging on induced heating-healing
processes. Induced healing of asphalt mixes, performed through applying external …

Plastic asphalt mixtures (PAMs) have garnered attention recently, but their field application
has been limited due to a lack of understanding of asphalt mix behavior following …

To better understand the thermal-oxidative aging mechanism of asphalt binder at the
component level, a new isothermal aging method was developed to discuss thermal …

Top-down crack (TDC) as one of the pavement distresses, has a significant contribution to
the quality of pavement service. Low-temperature top-down crack, which are subcategories …
