Mineral filler, fine-grained mineral particles naturally present in or manufactured and added
to aggregates play a significant role on the performance of asphalt mastic and asphalt …

The primary objective of this article was to investigate the feasibility of steel slag as fillers,
particularly the fillers milled from raw steel slag with different particle size, also the steel slag …

The rheological properties of the bituminous components (bitumen and bituminous mastic)
within asphalt mixtures contribute significantly to the major distresses of flexible pavements …

Fly and bottom ashes are the main by-products arising from the combustion of solid
biomass. Since the production of energy from this source is increasing, the processing and …

Many studies have focused on modelling the stiffening effect of mineral filler on asphalt
binder. However, the interaction between both constituents was always a challenge to …

Multiscale modelling is an increasingly popular technique for understanding the
mechanisms affecting the performance of asphalt concrete. Significant efforts have been …

Fatigue cracking is considered to be the primary failure mechanism that occurs at ambient
temperatures in an asphalt pavement. The bituminous binder plays an important role in this …

Understanding the rheological behavior of the asphalt mastic is an important step towards
improving the shear-stress response of the mixture. The objective of this study is to observe …

The experimental investigation of the effects of filler-bitumen interaction on the stiffening and
shearing characteristics of asphalt mastic is presented in this paper. The role of filler …

There has been a significant increase in the demand for using recycled materials in
construction because of the lack and limitation of available natural resources. A number of …
