The bitumen physicochemical properties of are constantly changing during both the
production of asphalt mixtures and the service of road pavements. These changes involve …

Bituminous materials play a crucial role in the construction industry, serving as essential
binders in asphalt mixtures. Understanding their bonding behavior, mechanism, and …

Research on the aging process of bitumen has been very intensive in recent years.
However, they mainly involve the study of its components oxidation process using …

Rejuvenators are critical for restoring the performance of recycled asphalt pavement
produced with a high dosage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) materials. In this study, a …

The presented study aims at an improved analysis of aging of bitumen based on the
carboxyl peak. In general, infrared (IR) spectra are post-processed, including baseline …

Hot-and cold-applied joint sealants are materials commonly used for the surface repairs of
the upper layers of asphalt or concrete road surfaces. Our investigations covered six hot …

Oxidative aging of bitumen is an inevitable and irreversible phenomenon. Exposure to
detrimental factors such as sunlight, oxygen, and UV radiations accelerates the aging of …

Seriously environmental pollution has been induced by discarding of coal gangue (CG) that
produced during coal mining and washing processes. Using CG as an alternative of …

Oxygen uptake of materials, such as eg during the aging of process bitumen at
environmental conditions, effects the mechanical properties and, hence, technical usability …
