A novel approach for rational determination of warm mix asphalt production temperatures (2018)
Journal Article

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) has been developed to minimise environmental impact of asphalt by reducing production temperatures of this material. This study provides a new approach to design WMA production temperatures by two methods. First, aggregate coat...

In many countries recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for road surface layers is limited to a maximum of 10–30%. This is due to technical limitation of common asphalt plant but also to specifications that are still restrictive when it comes...

Numerical and experimental predictions of texture-related influences on rolling resistance (2018)
Journal Article

To overcome rolling resistance (RR) a typical vehicle on average consumes 4152 MJ/119 L of fuel annually as a result of both vehicle and pavement factors. A slight improvement in surface texture arrangement may therefore decrease fuel consumption b...

Developing the multiple stress–strain creep recovery (MS-SCR) test (2018)

While most published work from Europe has been concerned with evaluating binders’ resistance to rutting based on their stiffness (deformation resistance), work originating in the US has mainly been concerned with ranking binders based on their recove...

Rutting in asphalt mixtures is a very common type of distress. It occurs due to the heavy load applied and slow movement of traffic. Rutting needs to be predicted to avoid major deformation to the pavement. A simple linear viscous method is used i... Read More about Linear viscous approach to predict rut depth in asphalt mixtures.
