Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

The application of asphalt materials in pavement engineering has been increasingly
widespread and sophisticated over the past several decades. Variations in the properties of …

New chemical compositions of model asphalts to represent the AAA-1, AAK-1 and AAM-1
asphalts of the Strategic Highway Research Program are proposed to enable molecular …

The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a hot research topic in the field of road
engineering, as there are still many issues to overcome so as to become standard …

Asphalt materials are uneven and complex organic matter, and the properties of asphalt–
aggregate interfaces are also complex. This makes it difficult for researchers to understand …

The rejuvenator effects on aged asphalt are easily influenced by multiple physical conditions
such as ultraviolet irradiation, overheating and water exposure. In this study, a multiphysics …

We report classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of four structurally diverse
model asphaltenes, a model resin, and their respective mixtures in toluene or heptane under …

The history of the Monte Carlo for complex chemical systems Towhee open source Monte
Carlo molecular simulation tool is discussed. A proof is given that the Widom insertion …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation plays an effective role in predicting the critical
properties and explaining the macroscale phenomenon at the nanoscale. This review …

The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used in this study to explain the microscopic
process of asphalt self-healing and investigate the influence of temperature on the self …
