Ageing is a common phenomenon that seriously affects the performance and service life of
asphalt pavements. In this paper, multiscale evaluations of bitumen ageing behaviour were …

Bitumen, a product mostly used as a binder in road construction, has been subject of
numerous scientific investigations with the goal to optimise its function as an engineering …

This RILEM round robin study with nine participating laboratories investigated bitumen
ageing, its effect on chemical properties and its reproducibility. The impact of temperature …

The objectives of the research was to assess the coastal pollution by plastic nurdles, pyrolitic
debris, associated potential toxic elements (PTEs) concentrations and mitigatory efforts by …

Asphalt has been the primary material for pavements and other building components such
as roof shingles and waterproofing systems, which can be the path for stormwater runoff …

Bitumen is a material of significant importance for the roadwork industry and hence for
development of infrastructure, economy and society. Therefore, understanding its ageing …

Ageing is an omnipresent phenomenon that affects all materials in earth's atmosphere
including roads. The material most prone to ageing within an asphalt road is its organic …

The application of chemical analysis on bituminous materials has increased drastically over
the past decades. One of the most common spectroscopic methods used in the field of …

Rejuvenators improve the performance of reclaimed asphalt mixtures but relatively little is
known about their long-term aging characteristics. This study evaluated the effect of four …

Adding rejuvenator is a feasible method to restore the properties of aged asphalt. Due to the
complex rejuvenation mechanism between different rejuvenators and aged asphalt, there is …
