Use of Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) in the selection of highly effective rejuvenators for aged bitumen (2024)
Journal Article

While there is considerable research regarding the recycling and reuse of aged bitumen in terms of the evaluation of rheological properties, there is not much fundamental understanding regarding the underlying mechanisms of the rejuvenation process....

Innovative Use of Polyurethane Precursor to Facilitate the Reaction-Rejuvenation of Aged SBS-Modified Asphalt (2024)
Journal Article

The high-quality reutilization of waste styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt (SBSMA) mixtures has been a focus area for researchers in recent times. Commonly used rejuvenators are generally unsatisfactory to fully restore their overall pr...

Comparative analysis of time sweep testing evaluation methods for the fatigue characterisation of aged bitumen (2024)
Journal Article

Ageing of bitumen changes its stiffness related properties and is thought to have a considerable impact on its fatigue performance. Time sweep tests are a commonly used methodology to evaluate the fatigue performance of bitumen over the course of its...

Quantitative analysis of asphalt concrete’s tension-compression asymmetry effects on pavement response through 3D numerical modeling with dual viscoelastic model (2024)
Journal Article

Asphalt concrete (AC) exhibits noticeable tension-compression (TC) asymmetry, but it is typically considered isotropic in pavement design. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate the effect of AC’s TC asymmetry on pavement response under loading t...

Examining the efficacy of promising antioxidants to mitigate asphalt binder oxidation: insights from a worldwide interlaboratory investigation (2024)
Journal Article

Oxidative aging induces significant stiffening of asphalt binders that leads to a pronounced reduction in the overall durability of asphalt pavements. The strategic implementation of antioxidant additives provides a potential solution to alleviate th...
