A study into the use of crumb rubber in railway ballast (2014)
Journal Article
Sol-Sánchez, M., Thom, N., Moreno-Navarro, F., Rubio-Gámeza, M., & Airey, G. (2015). A study into the use of crumb rubber in railway ballast. Construction and Building Materials, 75, 19-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2014.10.045

Ballasted track is the most common form of construction used in railway transportation due to a number of benefits in comparison with other solutions such as slab track. However, the degradation of the ballast particles and the layer settlement lead... Read More about A study into the use of crumb rubber in railway ballast.

Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures (2014)
Journal Article
Airey, G., & Collop, A. (in press). Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2014.925551

Compaction forms an integral part in the formation of the aggregate orientation and structure of an asphalt mixture and therefore has a profound influence on its final volumetric and mechanical performance. This article describes the influence of var... Read More about Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures.

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