Evaluation of the degradation of fine asphalt-aggregate mixtures containing high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents (2017)
Journal Article
Sánchez, D. B., Grenfell, J., Airey, G., & Caro, S. (in press). Evaluation of the degradation of fine asphalt-aggregate mixtures containing high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 18(sup2), https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2017.1304250

This paper evaluates the mechanical properties and performance of the fine aggregate matrix (FAM) existing within full reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) asphalt mixtures, in terms of their rheological and fatigue deterioration properties. The RAP mate... Read More about Evaluation of the degradation of fine asphalt-aggregate mixtures containing high reclaimed asphalt pavement contents.

Development of a tool to assess in-situ curing of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (2016)
Journal Article
Kuna, K., Airey, G., & Thom, N. (2016). Development of a tool to assess in-situ curing of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures. Construction and Building Materials, 124, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2016.07.086

This paper discusses the simplest yet crucial mix design consideration of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (FBMs); curing. The objective of the present study is to attain better understanding of the curing mechanism of FBMs and lessen the gap between laborato...

Development of a composite substrate peel test to assess moisture sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds (2016)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Airey, G. D., Grenfell, J., Apeagyei, A. K., & Barrett, M. (2016). Development of a composite substrate peel test to assess moisture sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds. International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, 68, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2016.02.013

This paper presents the development of a suitable procedure to prepare peel test specimens using coarse aggregates and compare the results with the established standard peel test. The newly developed composite substrate peel test (CSPT) was found to... Read More about Development of a composite substrate peel test to assess moisture sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds.

Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material (2016)
Journal Article
Kuna, K., Airey, G., & Thom, N. (in press). Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2015.1126271

In the present work, a mix design parametric study was carried out with the aim of proposing a practical and consistent mix design procedure for foamed bitumen mixtures (FBMs). The mix design parameters that were adopted in the study are mixing and c... Read More about Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material.

Experimental evaluation of cohesive and adhesive bond strength and fracture energy of bitumen-aggregate systems (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Airey, G. D., & Grenfell, J. R. (2016). Experimental evaluation of cohesive and adhesive bond strength and fracture energy of bitumen-aggregate systems. Materials and Structures, 49(7), 2653-2667. https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-015-0674-7

Degradation of asphalt pavements is an inevitable phenomenon due to the combined effects of high traffic loads and harsh environmental conditions. Deterioration can be in the form of cohesive failure of the bitumen and/or bitumen-filler mastic or by...

Influence of waxes on adhesion properties of bituminous binders (2014)
Journal Article
Lamperti, R., Grenfell, J., Sangiorgi, C., Lantieri, C., & Airey, G. D. (2015). Influence of waxes on adhesion properties of bituminous binders. Construction and Building Materials, 76, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2014.11.058

The benefits at the base of WMA technologies are well established in the literature. They include the reduction in the energy consumption during the production of mixtures, the reduction in the emissions to the atmosphere in the production plant and...
