Structural design of pavements incorporating foamed bitumen mixtures (2017)
Journal Article
Kuna, K., Airey, G., & Thom, N. (in press). Structural design of pavements incorporating foamed bitumen mixtures. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, https://doi.org/10.1680/jcoma.16.00039

This paper presents a rational structural design methodology termed the ‘cumulative damage approach’ for road, port and airport pavements incorporating cold bituminous mixtures with foamed bitumen. This has been developed along with a laboratory test... Read More about Structural design of pavements incorporating foamed bitumen mixtures.

A novel multi-scale numerical model for prediction of texture-related impacts on fuel consumption (2017)
Journal Article
Mansura, D., Thom, N., & Beckedahl, H. (2017). A novel multi-scale numerical model for prediction of texture-related impacts on fuel consumption. Tire Science and Technology, 45(1), https://doi.org/10.2346/tire.17.450104

It is estimated that to overcome rolling resistance (RR) a typical vehicle, on average, consumes 4152 MJ/119 L of fuel annually, depending not only on vehicle-related factors but also on pavement-related factors. A slight improvement in surface prope... Read More about A novel multi-scale numerical model for prediction of texture-related impacts on fuel consumption.
