Simulating plant produced material in the laboratory to replicate rheological and fatigue properties (2018)
Journal Article
Oshone, M., Pires, G. M., Jiménez del Barco Carrión, A., Rahbar-Rastegar, R., Airey, G., Daniel, J. S., …Smith, D. (in press). Simulating plant produced material in the laboratory to replicate rheological and fatigue properties. Road Materials and Pavement Design, https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2018.1484384

As part of an effort by agencies and industry to move towards performance-based design to evaluate mixtures in the laboratory at a smaller scale before moving to full scale operation, laboratory protocols exist to simulate the aging that occurs as a...

Towards storage-stable high-content recycled tyre rubber modified bitumen (2018)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., Izquierdo, M., & Jiménez del Barco Carrión, A. (2018). Towards storage-stable high-content recycled tyre rubber modified bitumen. Construction and Building Materials, 172, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2018.03.226

The addition of crumb rubber particles as bitumen modifier can be currently considered as a well-established alternative to conventional polymers for bitumen modification. However, Recycle Tyre Rubber (RTR) modified binders still present drawbacks su... Read More about Towards storage-stable high-content recycled tyre rubber modified bitumen.

Towards 100% recycling of reclaimed asphalt in road surface courses: Binder design methodology and case studies (2016)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., Jiménez Del Barco Carrión, A., Airey, G., & Hajj, E. (2016). Towards 100% recycling of reclaimed asphalt in road surface courses: Binder design methodology and case studies. Journal of Cleaner Production, 131, 43-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2016.05.093

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) has shown great potential to be reused in new asphalt mixtures, however its incorporation in top asphalt pavement layers is still very limited (10-30%). In fact, despite the advantages that its use implies, RA content in road p...
