Moisture sensitivity examination of asphalt mixtures using thermodynamic, direct adhesion peel and compacted mixture mechanical tests (2016)
Journal Article

Moisture damage in asphalt mixtures is a complicated mode of pavement distress that results in the loss of stiffness and structural strength of the asphalt pavement layers. This paper evaluated the moisture sensitivity of different aggregate–bitumen...

Active fillers’ effect on in situ performances of foam bitumen recycled mixtures (2016)
Journal Article

Cold recycling is one of the most employed rehabilitation techniques for asphalt pavements and it is becoming more and more important as reducing emissions becomes a priority in the reduction of the greenhouse effect. The main advantages of asphalt c... Read More about Active fillers’ effect on in situ performances of foam bitumen recycled mixtures.

Development of a tool to assess in-situ curing of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (2016)
Journal Article

This paper discusses the simplest yet crucial mix design consideration of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (FBMs); curing. The objective of the present study is to attain better understanding of the curing mechanism of FBMs and lessen the gap between laborato...

Linear and nonlinear fractional hereditary constitutive laws of asphalt mixtures (2016)
Journal Article

The aim of this paper is to propose a fractional viscoelastic and viscoplastic model of asphalt mixtures using experimental data of several tests such as creep and creep recovery performed at different temperatures and at different stress levels. Fro... Read More about Linear and nonlinear fractional hereditary constitutive laws of asphalt mixtures.

Towards 100% recycling of reclaimed asphalt in road surface courses: Binder design methodology and case studies (2016)
Journal Article

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) has shown great potential to be reused in new asphalt mixtures, however its incorporation in top asphalt pavement layers is still very limited (10-30%). In fact, despite the advantages that its use implies, RA content in road p...

Time dependent viscoelastic rheological response of pure, modified and synthetic bituminous binders (2016)
Journal Article

Bitumen is a viscoelastic material that exhibits both elastic and viscous components of response and displays both a temperature and time dependent relationship between applied stresses and resultant strains. In addition, as bitumen is responsible fo... Read More about Time dependent viscoelastic rheological response of pure, modified and synthetic bituminous binders.

Development of a composite substrate peel test to assess moisture sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds (2016)
Journal Article

This paper presents the development of a suitable procedure to prepare peel test specimens using coarse aggregates and compare the results with the established standard peel test. The newly developed composite substrate peel test (CSPT) was found to... Read More about Development of a composite substrate peel test to assess moisture sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds.

Chemical pavement modifications to reduce ice adhesion (2016)
Journal Article

The formation of ice and snow on road pavement surfaces is a recurring problem, creating hazardous driving conditions, restricting public mobility as well as having adverse economic effects. It would be desirable to develop new and improved ways of m... Read More about Chemical pavement modifications to reduce ice adhesion.

Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material (2016)
Journal Article

In the present work, a mix design parametric study was carried out with the aim of proposing a practical and consistent mix design procedure for foamed bitumen mixtures (FBMs). The mix design parameters that were adopted in the study are mixing and c... Read More about Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material.
