Asphalt binders, an indispensable component in road infrastructure construction and
maintenance, have been utilized for centuries in the roads. While binders have …

This paper studies the effect of crack repairing process on the behavior of pavement at four
ambient low and medium temperatures ranging from− 20° C to 30° C. Asphalt mixture …

For a scientific and reliable design of asphalt mixture subjected to fatigue damage, a
comprehensive understanding and realistic prediction of asphalt mixture fatigue life under …

Fatigue cracking in a bituminous layer is caused by tensile strains induced by repeated
traffic loading. It is also widely accepted that, in a bituminous mixture, fatigue cracking …

A novel test method for measuring the Poisson's ratio of asphalt binders using a Dynamic
Shear Rheometer (DSR) equipped with a linear drive is presented. The paper describes the …

The study included six bitumens, one unmodified and five modified, and their corresponding
asphalt mixtures. The first bitumen was the base bitumen and further five variants were …

The use of cylindrical column specimens to characterise the fatigue degradation of
bituminous materials is useful to unify existing fatigue testing methods at different length …

It has been acknowledged that, the rheological properties of asphalt binder as a viscoelastic
material, play an important role in regulating cohesion and internal friction of hot mix asphalt …

For a long time, standard Egyptian penetration grade 60/70 bitumen which is actually
