This RILEM round robin study with nine participating laboratories investigated bitumen
ageing, its effect on chemical properties and its reproducibility. The impact of temperature …

Bituminous binders as organic materials are prone to aging mainly by oxidation. Aging
changes the viscoelastic behavior of the material over time towards higher stiffness and …

Environmental temperature-effect is the primary factor responsible for asphalt pavement
failure. Asphalt pavement exposed to the atmosphere is constantly subjected to the thermal …

This study is devoted to understand the mechanisms of mineral fillers in asphalt at the
mixture and mastic scales. To do so, the physical properties of asphalt mixtures and mastics …

The synthetic compound fibers have been introduced as a modifier to improve rutting,
fatigue and low-temperature behavior of asphalt mixtures. In this research, the combination …

Asphalt pavements are continuously subjected to cyclic temperature variations induced by
varying day–night and seasonal temperatures. However, the effect of thermal cycling on …

This paper studies the linear viscoelastic behavior under small strain amplitudes and the
nonlinear behavior using large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) tests performed at strains …

In order to minimize permanent deformation in bitumen mastics, the combined addition of
traditional mineral filler and an organo-modified nano montmorillonite to different …

The quality and performance of petroleum asphalt are determined by crude oil and the
production process. The pavement performance using petroleum asphalt is consequently …

Global shift toward green construction has resulted in an increased focus on the use of
recycled plastic waste for asphalt binder modification. However, there are some …
