Permanent deformation, mainly referring to rutting, is one of the main distress modes of
asphalt pavement. Exploring effective methods to mitigate the rutting distress is of great …

Rutting is one of the significant distresses in flexible pavements. Examining the methods to
decrease permanent deformation is of considerable importance to provide long service life …

Rutting is one of the main distress modes of asphalt pavements, especially after prolonged
warm periods, and thus a great deal of research has been focused on the development of a …

Polymer modification is widely used to improve the engineering properties of bitumen, the
most commonly used polymer modifier being styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block …

With the development of urbanization, a huge amount of wasted vehicle tyre and wasted
green house plastic film are generated everyday and they have a potential risk for human …

Asphalt-binders are part of the key material constituents affecting the performance of hot-mix
asphalt (HMA), and ultimately, the field performance of flexible pavement structures. Quite …

This study focused on the rutting characteristics of two typical hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
overlays in airfield composite pavement under high tire pressure: asphalt concrete (AC) and …

The self-healing ability of asphalt material has a significant effect on improving fatigue life of
asphalt pavement. The objective of this paper was to investigate the stage characteristics of …

Rutting and fatigue of asphalt pavements, as two important distresses, are significantly
influenced by the properties of binders. This study aimed to improve the resistance of …

Bituminous binders are thermal-dependent visco-elastic materials commonly used in
pavement engineering. However, synthetic binders represent quite a new family of products …
