Abstract A three‐dimensional (3‐D) locally homogeneous model for asphalt mixtures is
presented in this study, which can effectively balance the simulating accuracy and …

The balanced mix design (BMD) constitutes a significant step forward in the pursuit of better-
performing asphalt mixtures. This approach/framework offers increased innovative …

This paper evaluates the resistance to rutting of asphalt mixtures based on the pass-fail Flow
Number (FN) index and on Stress Sweep Rutting (SSR) testing results. SSR provides …

To improve the durability of asphalt plug joints (APJs), the principle of central composite
design was adopted to design a three-factor and three-level Marshall test scheme for …

The shear strength of asphalt mixtures significantly influences the rut resistance of flexible
pavements. Existing methods predominantly address macroscopic aspects, failing to unveil …

This paper evaluates the effects of asphalt binders and aggregate particles on the
permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures. For that, Superpave PG, including MSCR, and …

Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) is widely used to improve the properties of the base
bitumen and hence bituminous mixtures. As SBS modification induces cost increase, natural …

Asphalt pavements perform complex linear and nonlinear mechanical responses with
respect to traffic loadings. Compared with traditional experimental approaches, the …

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effects of using Selenizza, a natural asphalt type,
with pure binder and to determine the performance of the Selenizza modification with …

1 Background One of the major types of flexible pavement distresses that is related to load
application is permanent deformation. Permanent deformation is generally characterized by …
