Evaluation of the fracture performance of different rubberised bitumens based on the essential work of fracture (2017)
Journal Article

The fracture performance of rubberised bitumen in addition to one pre-treated with a Warm Mix Additive (Sasobit®) was investigated using different test methods measuring different damage mechanisms. Two Recycled Tyre Rubber (RTR) modifiers together w... Read More about Evaluation of the fracture performance of different rubberised bitumens based on the essential work of fracture.

New simplified approach for obtaining a reliable plateau value in fatigue analysis of bituminous materials (2017)
Journal Article

The Plateau Value (PV) based on the Ratio of Dissipated Energy Change (RDEC) approach has been proven to provide a unique relationship with the fatigue life, Nf, independent of loading mode, temperature and frequency. In this paper, a new simplified... Read More about New simplified approach for obtaining a reliable plateau value in fatigue analysis of bituminous materials.

Evaluation of the degradation of fine asphalt-aggregate mixtures containing high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents (2017)
Journal Article

This paper evaluates the mechanical properties and performance of the fine aggregate matrix (FAM) existing within full reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) asphalt mixtures, in terms of their rheological and fatigue deterioration properties. The RAP mate... Read More about Evaluation of the degradation of fine asphalt-aggregate mixtures containing high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents.
