Comparison of the Effects of Hydrated Lime on the Moisture-Induced Damage of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Mixtures (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Moisture-induced damage is one of the most prominent distresses affecting pavement structures worldwide. As a consequence, various strategies for mitigating this phenomenon have been proposed, including the use of additives to improve bitumen-aggrega...

Experimental Investigation on Water Loss and Stiffness of CBTM Using Different RA Sources (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Cold recycling of reclaimed asphalt (RA) is a promising technique to build or to maintain roads, combining performance and environmental advantages. Although this technique has been extensively used worldwide, there is no unique and internationally-s...

Temperature Dependency of the Stiffening Effect of Hydrated Lime in Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Mixtures (2021)
Conference Proceeding

The effect of hydrated lime (HL) on the stiffening effect of bituminous mixtures is mainly driven by a physical phenomenon derived from the higher Rigden Air Voids (RAV) of HL in contrast to other filler types commonly used in bituminous mixtures suc...

Fracture Characterization of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) with Hydrated Lime Through the Semi-circular Bending Test Approach (2021)
Conference Proceeding

Hydrated lime (HL) use as an active filler is due to its ability to increase the stiffness of asphalt mixtures as well as the mechanical and physicochemical performance through improved rutting resistance, reduced aging, and enhanced moisture-induced...

Tests Campaign Analysis to Evaluate the Capability of Fragmentation Test to Characterize Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Material (2015)
Conference Proceeding

Cold and hot recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is increasingly gaining in popularity worldwide due to the need to increase the sustainability of asphalt pavement, both from environmental and economic perspectives. Despite the increasing o... Read More about Tests Campaign Analysis to Evaluate the Capability of Fragmentation Test to Characterize Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Material.

Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens (2014)
Conference Proceeding

Tyre Rubber Modified Binders (TR-MBs), produced through the McDonald wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have demonstrated various benefits to pavements and, moreover, they represent a good opportunity for recycling tyre rubber. How... Read More about Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens.
