Self-healing has great potential to extend the service life of asphalt pavement, and this
capability has been regarded as an important strategy when designing a sustainable …

In recent decades, several studies have demonstrated the healing capability of bituminous
materials, and this property is recognized as an important asset for the development of …

Asphalt mastic is a self-healing material. Cracks may develop in the asphalt mixture as a
result of different factors, such as repeated traffic loads or freeze–thaw cycles. But, once a …

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 691: Mix Design
Practices for Warm-Mix Asphalt explores a mix design method tailored to the unique material …

The main contribution of this study is the introduction of a method to quantify fatigue damage
accumulation of asphalt binders using a short-duration test procedure that can be easily …

Modelling the performance of asphalt concrete using continuum damage theories is an
approach that has gained international attention in recent years. These types of models are …

The healing phenomenon has been noted by pavement engineers for years, but its relation
to hot-mix asphalt (HMA) fatigue behavior is still far from clear. This study conducted an …

The fatigue cracking due to the repeated traffic loading is one of the main distresses that
reduces the performance and service life of the asphalt pavements. The asphalt phase of …

The existence of a fatigue endurance limit has been postulated for a considerable time. With
the increasing emphasis on extended-life hot-mix asphalt pavement, or perpetual pavement …

Cohesive and adhesive bonding within the asphalt—aggregate system are directly related
to the surface energy of the asphalt. The thermodynamic changes in the surface energy of …
