The detrimental effects of hardening in asphalt pavements were first recognized by
pioneering pavement engineers in the 1900s and have been studied extensively during the …

Self-healing of bituminous materials represents nowadays a promising approach to
increasing the lifespan of asphalt pavements. During the last decade, different techniques …

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

The issue of oxidative aging of asphalt binder has been recognized and studied for almost a
century. Hubbard and Reeve (1913) published the first results of a study that examined the …

The use of inorganic nanoparticles in asphalt binders and mixtures to improve performance
related properties have gained a popularity in recent years. Extremely large interface area …

The application of chemical analysis on bituminous materials has increased drastically over
the past decades. One of the most common spectroscopic methods used in the field of …

In recent years, as a result of both environmental policy and industrial economic strategy, the
amount of asphalt pavement that has been recycled has risen dramatically. As a result of …

It is common practice to assume full blending of the aged binder of reclaimed asphalt (RA)
within the design of new asphalt mixtures. Although being practical, this assumption has …

Ageing has long been recognised as a major distress mechanism for asphalt concrete and,
by extension, asphalt pavements. Ageing causes the material to stiffen and embrittle, which …

High content recycling, warm mix asphalt, and other advanced technologies are changing
asphalt mixtures beyond the narrow margins where conventional volumetric asphalt mix …
