Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Apeagyei, A. K., Airey, G. D., & Grenfell, J. R. (2015). Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion. International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, 62, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2015.06.012

The effects of aggregate mineralogical composition on moistures sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds were investigated using four aggregate types (two limestone and two granite)and two bitumen grades (40/60 penand70/100pen). Moisture sensitivity... Read More about Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion.

Discrete element modelling of creep of asphalt mixtures (2015)
Journal Article
Cai, W., McDowell, G. R., Airey, G., & de Bono, J. P. (in press). Discrete element modelling of creep of asphalt mixtures. Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 11(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/17486025.2015.1006689

Creep tests on asphalt mixtures have been undertaken under four stress levels in the laboratory while the Discrete Element Model (DEM) has been used to simulate the laboratory tests. A modified Burger’s model has been used to represent the time-depen... Read More about Discrete element modelling of creep of asphalt mixtures.

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.
