Oxidative ageing and moisture damage are key factors in bitumen degradation and asphalt
pavement deterioration. The effects of oxygen and moisture on bitumen are governed by …

Boiling water test (ASTM D3626) has been utilized to investigate the moisture susceptibility
of asphalt mixture for decades. It was originally intended to compare the relative moisture …

The effect of asphalt aging on the moisture resistance of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is still
controversial and scarcely investigated. Our study is aimed at revealing the change to …

Identifying the properties of the bond strength between aggregates and asphalt binders is
critical to understand the strength and fracture behavior of asphalt mixture. Some efforts …

Polyurethane is gradually used to chemically modify asphalt binder due to its outstanding
compatibility with asphalt binder. One of the plant wastes (lignin) containing hydroxyl groups …

Presence of moisture can weaken the asphalt-aggregate bond and result in aggregate
stripping and moisture damage in asphalt mixture. This study investigates how the moisture …

The surface energy of aggregate in asphalt pavements has a huge impact on its moisture
susceptibility. The commercial antistripping agents widely used in asphalt may not be …

To study the effects of aging and freeze–thaw cycles on the low-temperature performance of
styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS)/crumb rubber (CR) composite modified asphalt mixtures …

The effects of short-term aging (STA) and long-term aging (LTA) on moisture damage
mechanisms were investigated using mechanical and thermodynamic methods. PG58-22 …

Asphalt mastics have an important influence on the performance of asphalt mixtures. To
study the effect of thermo-oxidative aging on the cracking characteristics of warm mix crumb …
