Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lo Presti, D., Brown, L., Kranthi, K., Grenfell, J., Airey, G., Collop, A., & Scarpas, T. (2012, August). Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes. Paper presented at Seventh International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Pavements and Technological Control, Auckland, New Zealand

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is a 100% recyclable material, but at present in Europe the re-use of RA in mixes is limited and a huge amount of it is simply wasted. Furthermore, the recycling of asphalt often involves a certain downgrading of the material.... Read More about Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes.

Presented at 8th RILEM International Symposium on Testing and Characterization of Sustainable and Innovative Bituminous Materials, Ancona, Italy

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
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lo Presti, D., Memon, N., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2014, June). Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens. Presented at 12th International Conference on Asphalt Pavements, ISAP 2014, Raleigh, NC

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.

Comparison of the Effects of Hydrated Lime on the Moisture-Induced Damage of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Mixtures
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Badal, A., Carvajal-Munoz, J. S., & Airey, G. (2020, December). Comparison of the Effects of Hydrated Lime on the Moisture-Induced Damage of Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) Mixtures. Presented at RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials, Lyon, France (online)

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...
