Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

This study developed an atomistic simulation framework based on the classical molecular
dynamics (MD) method to study the moisture-induced damage at the asphalt-aggregate …

This paper semiquantitatively evaluates the microrheological properties of asphalt binder
using atomic force microscopy. It also presents differences between these properties …

Natural rubber (NR) powder as a bio-modifier of asphalt binder has been shown to have
some beneficial effects. However, there is limited research into the use of the liquid form of …

Bitumen is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons for which microstructural understanding is
incomplete. In an effort to detail this microstructure, a asphalt cement sample (CAP 30/45) …

The performance of an asphalt binder is closely related to its microstructure. Understanding
the properties of asphalt binders at the nano/microscale may help to improve knowledge of …

The use of nanoindentation to study asphalt is aimed at understanding the relationship
between properties of asphalt binder at various length scales. A combination of atomic force …

In a nanoindentation test, a test sample is indented or loaded by an intender tip and then
unloaded, and the load-displacement data are recorded. Load-displacement data are then …

The properties of asphalt mixtures containing a high amount of reclaimed asphalt are
presumed to be strongly influenced by the degree of blending between old and virgin …

Asphalt concrete (AC) consists of coarse aggregate, asphalt binder, and fines. The asphalt
binder creates an asphalt film around the coarse aggregate and fines. Fines are trapped …
