In the past years a wide discussion has been held among asphalt researchers regarding the
existence and interpretation of observed microstructures on bitumen surfaces. To investigate …

Ageing of bitumen leads to significant performance deterioration of asphalt pavements and
leads to material properties that are not conducive to recycling. Aiming to maximise the …

Using wax-based warm mix additives allows contractors to lower production and compaction
temperatures of asphalt, thereby reducing greenhouse and other harmful gas emissions in …

This paper investigated the contribution of plant fibers recovered from date palm waste to
modify bitumen properties. Palm fibers were characterized to determine their chemical …

While significant research efforts have been devoted to the rejuvenation of aged bitumen
using bio-rejuvenators, a universally recognised approach for dosage optimisation is still yet …

Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) of masonry structures with Fiber Reinforced
Polymers (FRPs) has received extensive attention during the last years. Despite the vast …

The growing attention of public opinion towards the environment has prompted, in the last
decades, to find eco-sustainable and economic alternatives to the traditional productions of …

The objectives of this paper are twofold:(1) Investigate the low-temperature reversible aging
discrepancy mechanism of the asphalt binders with similar regular low-temperature …

This study presents an investigation addressing the effect of environmental conditions on the
thermal properties of a cold curing epoxy resin used in repair and strengthening of masonry …

In the present work, soft and hard bitumens recovered from unaged, aged and recycled
asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures, which in laboratory tests performed mechanically as well as …
