Nowadays, the use of reclaimed asphalt pavements (RAP) is often combined with Warm Mix
Asphalt (WMA) technologies with several benefits in terms of environment, cost and …

An essential factor in the design and in situ performance of asphalt concrete pavements is its
elastic-stiffness properties. The objective of the present study, is to develop empirical …

A new line of research is reported in this study where magnetite is used as a partial
replacement of traditional aggregates in stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixtures. The objective …

This project tested eight commonly used mixtures in Switzerland: three surface courses,
three binder courses and two base courses. Three types of test methods for stiffness …

It is a common sense that the air void content significantly affects the field performance of
asphalt mixtures. Thus, this parameter is a key mix design criterion and is also adopted as a …

As for all organic material, bitumen is prone to ageing under atmospheric conditions. This
ageing process changes the properties of materials as it becomes stiffer and more brittle …

In the recent years, research on the effects of rejuvenation on hot mix asphalt (HMA) with a
high amount of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) has intensified. However, the vast …

Bitumen used as a binder is subjected to ageing that leads to increased stiffness and
brittleness. For the simulation of long-term ageing of hot mix asphalt (HMA), most methods …

The addition of fibres to reinforce asphalt mixtures is a prospective field for pavement
engineering, where the use of glass or synthetic macrofibers could potentially help not only …

Geogrid has been used widely as reinforcement in asphalt layer to reduce reflective crack.
However, the effectiveness of glass-fiber geogrid reinforcement on the fatigue life of asphalt …
