Reducing the cooling period of newly laid asphalt overlays could help airport authorities to quickly open remediated pavements to traffic. This paper reviews four strategies for a reduced cooling period, prior to trafficking, of newly-placed asphalt...

Examining the effects of contributory factors on curing process of cold bitumen emulsion mixtures (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Nassar, A. I., Thom, N., & Parry, T. (2016). Examining the effects of contributory factors on curing process of cold bitumen emulsion mixtures. In Functional pavement design: proceedings of the 4th Chinese-European Workshop on Functional Pavement Design (4th CEW 2016, Delft, The Netherlands, 29 June - 1 July 2016)

Curing of Cold Bitumen Emulsion Mixtures (CBEMs) is influenced by different factors such as curing temperature, curing time, humidity and presence of cement. In this study, the influence of these contributory factors on CBEMs has been evaluated in te...
