Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has been widely used as an environmentally friendly technology.
Due to the lower temperature than hot mix asphalt (HMA) and some influences of warm mix …

Although the use of waxes in bitumen modification is not new, the effect of waxes on bitumen
and bituminous mixture performance is still a complex subject of debate. This study was …

This paper investigates the effects of basalt fiber content, length and asphalt-aggregate ratio
on the volumetric and strength properties of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified …

In recent times, the use of polymer nanocomposite for construction of durable asphalt
mixtures has been gradually replacing the application of polymer-modified binders. In this …

Cold mix asphalt (CMA) has been increasingly recognized as an important alternative
worldwide. One of the common types of CMA is cold bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM). In …

To preserve the natural resources and to reduce the environmental pollution related to the
construction of pavements, many attempts have been made by pavement engineers to …

Optimization of polymer and asphalt content in polymer modified asphalt mixture is the aim

With increasing concerns of global warming and increasing exhaustion of greenhouse
gases, the asphalt industry is looking for alternatives of hot mix asphalt (HMA). Reasonable …

Environmental issues and high prices of bitumen justify the use of reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) as a raw material in asphalt production. However, the high stiffness of the …

Asphalt mixtures with high binder content, such as Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA), have
difficulties retaining the binder in the mix. To prevent the draindown of the binder, natural …
