The ageing phenomenon in asphalt mixtures is one of the most important factors affecting its
service life. The current paper provides an overview of a number of studies related to the …

The reduction in the ability of bitumen to bond with the aggregate surface due to the
infiltration of moisture has been recognised for years, and this deterioration phenomenon is …

Warm asphalt mixtures have been used worldwide aiming at saving energy and reducing
emissions throughout the production process, without decreasing the in-service …

Asphalt concrete (AC), a mixture of bitumen and aggregates, is a sensitive material
compared to other configurations used in civil engineering. Therefore scientists and …

Moisture damage has been reported as one of the main forms of distress in asphalt mixtures
since the 1900s. The bond between asphalt aggregate constituents fails in the presence of …

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

Asphalt road–pavements are sensitive to water ingress, which degrades the bitumen to
aggregate adhesion, promoting failure. The effects of water on a range of asphalt systems …

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been widely used as an environmentally friendly technology.
Due to the lower temperature than hot mix asphalt (HMA) and some influences of warm mix …

The objective of this work is to analyze the effect of moisture on the bonding and debonding
behaviors between asphalt and aggregates based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation …

During the last few years, the use of Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) as a wearing
surface material has gained a great concern due to the various benefits in terms of safety …
