Examination of moisture sensitivity of aggregate-bitumen bonding strength using loose asphalt mixture and physico-chemical surface energy property tests (2013)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Apeagyei, A. K., Ahmad, N., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2014). Examination of moisture sensitivity of aggregate-bitumen bonding strength using loose asphalt mixture and physico-chemical surface energy property tests. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 15(7), 657-670. https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2013.855312

In this study, the moisture sensitivity of different kinds of aggregates and bituminous binders is examined by comparing the performance between five empirical test methods for loose mixtures - static immersion test, rolling bottle test (RBT), boilin...

Tyre rubber-modified bitumens development: the effect of varying processing conditions (2013)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., & Airey, G. (2013). Tyre rubber-modified bitumens development: the effect of varying processing conditions. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 14(4), 888-900. https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2013.837837

Tyre rubber-modified binders (TR-MBs), produced through McDonald's wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have been demonstrated to provide various benefits to pavements and, moreover, they represent a good opportunity for recycling ty...

Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens (2013)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., Hassan, N., Airey, G., & Collop, A. (2013). Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 14(SUPPL.1), 120-131. https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2013.774750

This study highlights the importance of defining appropriate specimen manufacturing procedures when assessing the fundamental properties of reclaimed asphalt (RA) mixes for further modelling purposes. Two gyratory compactor procedures were used: the... Read More about Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens.
