The objective of this paper is to review the current characterization and evaluation methods
and introduce emerging technologies of aggregate morphologies in asphalt mixture through …

The sustainable performance of asphalt pavement depends on the quality and mix design of
road aggregates. Identifying aggregate morphology and size is a prerequisite step for …

In order to high-content and high-quality use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), the
separation of aged asphalt and aggregates in RAP is necessary. However, the current …

Aggregate skeleton is a significant factor that determines load transfer paths in asphalt
concrete. This study prepared asphalt mixtures with different aggregate morphologies …

Asphalt mixtures are widely used in the construction of high-grade highways and airport
pavements. With regard to numerical simulations it was considered as homogeneous due to …

Microplastic pollution is contaminating the human food chain worldwide. At the same time,
construction excessively exploits natural sand, requiring the incorporation of alternative …

With the rapid growth of traffic, asphalt pavement with well performance conditions is
urgently needed. Maintenance and renovation consume large amounts of natural …

In this study, the effect of coarse aggregate shape characteristics on the compactability and
microstructural properties of asphalt mixtures was virtually investigated using a discreet …

Focused on the aggregate microstructures to characterize the aggregate mechanical
properties, this paper proposed a modeling method of coarse aggregate based on the …

The strength and shape of aggregates significantly affect the internal skeleton structure (ISS)
of the asphalt mixtures, which affects the service life of asphalt pavement. ISS is a critical …
