Asphalt materials exhibit intrinsic healing capabilities. Researchers have carried out
numerous investigations to characterize various aspects related to healing in asphalt …

Bamboo is a plant species that features fast-growing characteristics, and bamboo fiber is a
kind of environmentally attractive fiber, which is affordable, recyclable, degradable and …

Low temperature properties of the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt binder
and aged SBS modified asphalt binder containing rejuvenators were investigated using …

Reversible aging of asphalt binders is one of the reasons for the premature failure of asphalt
pavements. To better understand the effect of modifier types on the reversible aging in …

Asphalt mixtures are composed by a mass of aggregates (more than 90% of their total
weight), which are bonded by a bituminous binder. Despite the fact that the binder is not the …

Physical hardening (PH) is an important factor affecting the low-temperature performance of
bitumen. At present, most PH characterizations are performed by the bending beam …

This paper aims to investigate the influence of thermal history on the intermediate and low-
temperature characterisation of asphalt binders. First, various asphalt binder intermediate …

This paper presents laboratory testing of stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strength of
three asphalt concrete (AC) and three stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixes after isothermal …

The paper presents low-temperature test results of asphalt mixtures designed with use of
bitumen modified by crumb rubber and also SBS polymer. Laboratory tests were conducted …

This study aims to investigate the effect of physical hardening on the low temperature
performance of direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) modified asphalt. The extended …
