Under repeated vehicle loadings, surface runoff and retained water inside asphalt pavement
structure will cause dynamic pore water pressure with positive and negative alternations …

Waste tire rubber has been incorporated into asphalt modification for decades due to its
various benefits. There are two main mechanisms during bitumen–rubber interaction: rubber …

Oxidative ageing and moisture damage are key factors in bitumen degradation and asphalt
pavement deterioration. The effects of oxygen and moisture on bitumen are governed by …

The asphalt mixture is easily affected by water erosion with different solutes. The molecular
dynamics (MD) simulation method was adopted to explore the influence of solute on the …

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) stands at the forefront of sustainable practices in road
construction and rehabilitation. However, concerns regarding the moisture susceptibility of …

A large amount of solid waste, such as steel slag (SS), is generated annually. At the same
time, the shortage of road construction materials is becoming a concern. In this study, to …

When water interacts with bitumen, the diffusion and cohesion characteristics between the
components of bitumen are negatively impacted. Molecular dynamics simulations were …

Understanding the diffusion of moisture in asphaltic materials is crucial because it yields key
insights into the moisture-induced damages of asphalt pavement. In this work, the molecular …

Moisture migration in pavement leads to the loss of strength of asphalt mixture. However,
moisture profile measurement inside of the mixture can be challenging. In this paper, a new …

Durability of asphalt concrete is significantly influenced by moisture damage, resulting in
early degradation of asphalt pavements. There are several tests and conditioning methods …
