The composition of the material phase responsible for the self-healing of macro-cracks in asphalt mortar beams (2020)
Journal Article
Grossegger, D., Garcia, A., & Airey, G. (2022). The composition of the material phase responsible for the self-healing of macro-cracks in asphalt mortar beams. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 23(3), 656-665. https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2020.1842793

Self-healing of asphalt is assumed to be a flow process where bitumen flows into cracks to close them. Hence, the rheological behaviour of bitumen is one of the main factors affecting self-healing together with damage history, healing duration and pr...

Sustainable utilization of bauxite residue (Red Mud) as a road material in pavements: A critical review (2020)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Yao, Z., Wang, K., Wang, F., Jiang, H., Liang, M., …Airey, G. (2021). Sustainable utilization of bauxite residue (Red Mud) as a road material in pavements: A critical review. Construction and Building Materials, 270, Article 121419. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.121419

Sustainable utilization of the bauxite residue (red mud) generated from the alumina refining has recently increased due to increased environmental concerns because of its high alkalinity and problematic pollutants when placed in landfills. This paper... Read More about Sustainable utilization of bauxite residue (Red Mud) as a road material in pavements: A critical review.

Performance-related and rheological characterisation of natural rubber modified bitumen (2020)
Journal Article
Wititanapanit, J., Carvajal-Munoz, J. S., & Airey, G. (2021). Performance-related and rheological characterisation of natural rubber modified bitumen. Construction and Building Materials, 268, Article 121058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.121058

This paper is motivated by the limited research available evaluating the comprehensive effects of natural rubber bitumen modification (NR) for pavement applications. A detailed laboratory programme was carried out to evaluate the influence of NR on t... Read More about Performance-related and rheological characterisation of natural rubber modified bitumen.

Applicability of time-temperature superposition for laboratory-aged neat and SBS-modified bitumens (2020)
Journal Article
