ABSTRACT Hamburg wheel tracking (HWT) is prominently used for rutting resistance test. The HWT is a versatile device to determine moisture susceptibility and permanent deformation, which has been widely used [...]

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to investigate and compare the fatigue failure characteristics of neat and modified asphalt binders using both cyclic and monotonic loading modes, and further [...]

ABSTRACT To better recycle the waste oil, it has been introduced into asphalt binder as a type of modifier. In this study, the effects of petroleum-based, re-refined, and bio-based oil [...]

ABSTRACT Rutting is one of the most important failures occurring in hot mix asphalt (HMA) especially in the summer season and slow moving traffic areas. Rutting is a pavement surface [...]

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to evaluate if bond strength measurements obtained from the Asphalt Bond Strength (ABS) test can be supported by cohesive and adhesive bond strength [...]

ABSTRACT Cold Mix Asphalt (CMA) is a promising alternative material for a wide range of paving applications from preventive maintenance and repair, to new pavement construction. However, the reported higher [...]

ABSTRACT Oils can be used as modifiers to improve low temperature performance of asphalt. However, the relationship between phase transition of oil modified asphalt and their low temperature properties still [...]

ABSTRACT Thermally induced cracking of asphalt pavement continues to be a serious issue in cold climate regions. As a modifier, oil can be used to improve the low temperature performance [...]

ABSTRACT Thermal cracking is recognized as a critical failure mode for bituminous mixtures and good fracture properties are a key factor to obtain long lasting asphalt pavements in cold climate. [...]

ABSTRACT Several factors related to the performance of high modulus asphalt binders (HMABs) in pavement engineering were studied: stiffness, elastic recovery, asphalt layer thickness reduction, workability and thermal cracking resistance. [...]

ABSTRACT The effect of the glass transition behavior on the rate and magnitude of physical hardening was studied for modified and unmodified asphalt binders. The analysis showed that the rate [...]

ABSTRACT Predicting the permanent deformation in asphalt binders under service load is an important step towards selecting the most appropriate asphalt binder for a flexible pavement. A model to predict [...]
