The identification of material phases at the so called bitumen-scale in context of multiscale
modeling of asphalt is presented. For this purpose, atomic force microscopy (AFM) …

This paper focuses on the effect of filler on the low-temperature creep of asphalt mastic.
Based on experimental results obtained from bending-beam rheometer (BBR) experiments …

When it comes to describe the mechanical behaviour of hot mix asphalt (HMA), the change
of the mechanical properties over time due to environmental impacts known as ageing has …

Naphthenic oil is an organic solvent whose effect as an additive to SBS modified asphalt is
rarely studied. The influence of naphthenic oil on SBS modified asphalt was investigated in …

Motivated by recent progress in viscoelastic indentation analysis, the identification of
viscoelastic properties from nanoindentation test data taking the real tip geometry into …

In order to cover the effect of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modification on the
characteristics of bitumen, two types of bitumen, one plain bitumen, and one polymer …

In order to understand the complex thermo-rheological behavior of asphalt, stemming from
the viscoelastic nature of bitumen, the nanoindentation (NI) technique is employed. Hereby …

Fatigue failure is one of the main failure mechanisms in flexible pavements, resulting in the
decrease of material stiffness due to repeated (traffic) loading, mainly driven by the …

The main failure mechanisms of flexible pavements, such as low-temperature cracking,
fatigue failure, and rutting are strongly influenced by the viscoelastic properties of asphalt …

The current design approach for bituminous pavement constructions in Austria allows for
straight forward determination of the different layer thicknesses, but limitations in the …
