The amendment of producing asphalt mixes with waste materials serves as an avenue to
limit the enormous volume of wastes produced from various sources. This also reduce the …

In the countries where the energy industry is based mainly on coal, the management of the
waste generated in the process of its combustion (fly ash) is a serious problem. The article …

Mineral filler, fine-grained mineral particles naturally present in or manufactured and added
to aggregates play a significant role on the performance of asphalt mastic and asphalt …

SBS modified asphalt binder (SBSMA) is widely used because of its excellent pavement
performance. Recycling application for aged SBSMA has drawn increasing attention. In this …

Conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) can only capture the surface microstructure
and nanomechanical properties of bitumen. As such, AFM cannot directly analyze chemical …

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms of oxidative ageing in bitumen is considered of
paramount importance in order to take steps towards durable binders able to tackle …

The paper assesses the influence of two types of modifiers obtained from natural resources
on the properties of road asphalt and asphalt mix containing reclaimed asphalt pavement …

Asphalt binder ageing alters its chemical and physical properties in a manner to make it
brittle and more susceptible to thermal and fatigue cracking. The ageing rate of asphalt …

Atomic force microscopy-based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) is an advanced technology
derived from two existing technologies. Recently, AFM-IR has been applied to perform the …
