The daily utilization of a large amount of raw materials is causing a rapid depletion of natural
resources. The growth of the human population is accompanied by higher activities in the …

The performance of CR-modified bitumen is mainly influenced by compromising on storage
stability, elasticity, and high-temperature rutting. The primary target of this research is to …

Municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash (constituting approximately 80–90%)
and fly ash are by-products of the incineration of solid waste. In general, MSWI residues are …

Compaction effort significantly influences the skeleton characteristics of asphalt mixture, and
mixtures of different skeletons show widely varying demands for compaction effort. Based on …

The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of aggregate gradation (AG) on
the volumetric parameters (VPs) and rutting performance (RP) of asphalt concrete (AC) …

Superpave balanced mix design (BMD) approaches have been adopted using the Illinois
Flexibility Index test (I-FIT) for cracking and Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) for rutting …

This study proposes a mechanical model for the shear modulus of asphalt mixtures based
on granular mechanics theory. An aggregate interface shear test is conducted to validate the …

Targeting the midline of aggregate gradation envelope alone does not guarantee packing of
aggregates. Source and consensus properties of aggregates need to be considered while …

Aggregates play a crucial role as the structural framework of asphalt mixtures, bearing the
majority of the load applied to the pavement. Therefore, it is imperative to thoroughly …

For stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixtures, the aggregate gradation is the significant
requirement to achieve the best structural design. In this research, an attempt to evaluate the …
