Recent studies have shown that in addition to ambient temperature, time-dependent factors such as temperature cycles and freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) affect the speed of creation and …
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide-gap semiconducting material which is chemically stable at high temperatures and has been shown to be compatible with asphalt binders. Additionally …
Asphalt mixtures suffer from different types of cracking such as low-temperature cracks (LTCs) and intermediate-temperature cracks (ITCs). These two types of cracking may occur …
The study of the short-and long-term cracking behavior of asphalt pavement under tensile and tear deformations, and the production of sustainable mixtures using recycled additives …
Top-down crack (TDC) as one of the pavement distresses, has a significant contribution to the quality of pavement service. Low-temperature top-down crack, which are subcategories …
This study investigates how the diameter of specimens impacts the cracking behavior of asphalt mixtures. Testing was conducted on SCB specimens with diameters of 64, 86, and …
First, porous asphalt (PA) pavement possesses a lower strength and lifetime compared to typical dense-grade asphalt mixtures due to its large empty space structure. Second, PA …
There has been an ever-climbing trend toward environmental concerns in addition to road technical issues, resulting in the testing of new high-quality pavements. First, due to the …
When it comes to sustainability, steel rebar corrosion has always been a big issue, especially when they are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, such as marine and …
