Phase change materials (PCMs) can adjust the external temperature by changing their
phase states. In order to understand the application of PCMs in asphalt pavements, this …

Sustainable development involves the usage of alternative sustainable materials in order to
sustain the excessive depletion of natural resources. Plant fibers, as a “green” material, are …

This article aims to reveal the physical hardening mechanism of polymer-modified asphalt
binder (PMA) and accurately assess its impact on the low-temperature fracture properties of …

The use of recycled polyethylene (RPE)-modified asphalt not only allows for significant
consumption of waste plastics, but also enhances the performance of the asphalt matrix …

Functional carbon nanomaterials are incorporated in bitumen composites to enhance their
mechanical performance; however, this process is significantly hindered by the poor …

Abstract Waste Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites have become an environmental
issue in China, Europe, and the United States. However, recycling waste FRP composites …

Pavement distress detection (PDD) plays a vital role in planning timely pavement
maintenance that improves pavement service life. In order to promote the development of …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can improve the storage properties of modified asphalt by
enhancing the interfacial adhesion of recycled polyethylene (RPE) and base asphalt. In this …
