The reduction in the ability of bitumen to bond with the aggregate surface due to the
infiltration of moisture has been recognised for years, and this deterioration phenomenon is …

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology has become increasingly popular in pavement
construction because of its environmental benefits and its ability to improve the engineering …

The detrimental effects of water in asphalt mixtures and its manifestation as distresses in
asphalt pavements were first recognised in the 1930s and have been studied extensively …

Asphalt road–pavements are sensitive to water ingress, which degrades the bitumen to
aggregate adhesion, promoting failure. The effects of water on a range of asphalt systems …

Moisture-induced damage represents one of the major challenges to the durability of asphalt
pavement, which may lead to various premature distresses, such as cracking, ravelling and …

Self-healing of bituminous materials represents nowadays a promising approach to
increasing the lifespan of asphalt pavements. During the last decade, different techniques …

Moisture damage in an asphalt mixture can be defined as the loss of strength, stiffness and
durability due to the presence of moisture leading to adhesive failure at the binder …

The effects of aggregate mineralogical composition on moisture sensitivity of aggregate–
bitumen bonds were investigated using four aggregate types (two limestone and two …

The adhesive and cohesive properties of asphalt, mastic, and mortar in the same porous
asphalt (PA) mixture essentially control the durability and failure mechanism of PA mixtures …

Recent research proves that pyrolytic oils from waste tires are effective in restoring the
chemical and rheological properties of aged asphalt binders. Nonetheless, the role of oil …
