Chen, A., Airey, G. D., Thom, N., Litherland, J., & Adjetey Nii-Adjei, R. (2021). Modelling the stiffness development in asphalt concrete to obtain fatigue failure criteria. Construction and Building Materials, 306, Article 124837. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.124837

The study of fatigue is critical to good usability and durability of asphalt pavements. Inaccurate calculation of the fatigue failure criteria can cause incorrect evaluation of the fatigue performance, leading to inaccurate prediction of the pavement...

Stiffening Effect of Fillers Based on Rheology and Micromechanics Models (2021)
Journal Article
Rahim, A., Milad, A., Yusoff, N. I. M., Airey, G., & Thom, N. (2021). Stiffening Effect of Fillers Based on Rheology and Micromechanics Models. Applied Sciences, 11(14), Article 6521. https://doi.org/10.3390/app11146521

The aggregate in an asphalt mixture is coated with mastic consisting of bitumen (dilute phase) and filler (particulates phase). The interaction of bitumen and filler and packing of filler plays an important role in the properties of mastics. The micr...
