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 …

Advances and challenges in the field of bitumen polymer modification for road construction
during the last 40 years are reviewed in this paper. The history of bitumen polymer …

Fly ash (FA) is a by-product of power, and incineration plants operated either on coal and
biomass, or on municipal solid waste. FA can be divided into coal fly ash, obtained from …

This study aims to study the deformation and failure behavior of the asphalt-aggregate
interface using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The 12-component asphalt molecular …

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 …

The use of modified asphalt mixtures is a suitable solution for preventing low temperature
cracking of pavements in cold regions. In this paper, mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of …

In applications such as asphalt pavement and roofing shingles, bituminous binder not only
binds aggregate structure together but also acts as a waterproof sealant. However, moisture …

The interface between asphalt and aggregate directly determines the performance of
asphalt mixtures but unavoidable weaknesses can be easily found at the interfacial bonding …

Stripping is one of the most commonly occurring distresses in bituminous pavements. This
occurs as a result of destruction of the bond between aggregate particles and bitumen …

The loss of adhesion is a major mechanism of physical distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
because it could reduce the durability of HMA. In this study, active and passive adhesions …
