The application of asphalt materials in pavement engineering has been increasingly
widespread and sophisticated over the past several decades. Variations in the properties of …

The cohesive and adhesive performances of bituminous materials significantly affect the
service life of asphalt pavement. The molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method has been …

Incorporation of rejuvenators can promote the rejuvenation of heavily oxidized asphalt when
high proportion of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is used. However, there are few …

This study employed X-ray computed tomography (CT) and image processing technology to
characterize and quantify the internal skeleton composition within asphalt mixtures …

The large-scale promotion of steel slag (SS) in pavement construction remains challenging
due to the concern of swelling potential. This study combined molecular dynamics …

In order to improve the low-temperature crack resistance of the permeable asphalt mixture,
five steel slags with equal volumes of substitution rates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were …

Interfacial adhesion at the molecular level is a complex process, where the key players
(asphalt, aggregates, water, and air) are in a dynamic state of structural equilibrium, varying …

Steel slag (SS) is regarded as a potentially promising alternative material for road
construction, which could ameliorate the shortage of high-quality aggregate and …

Steel slag is a by-product obtained through the separation of molten steel from impurities in
steel-making furnaces. It can be produced by different types of furnaces (blast, basic oxygen …

Steel slag, a typical industrial waste, reveals high alkalinity and abundant texture, endowing
its excellent adhesion performance with asphalt and facilitating its implementation in …
