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...

Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures (2014)
Journal Article
Airey, G., & Collop, A. (in press). Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 17(1), https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2014.925551

Compaction forms an integral part in the formation of the aggregate orientation and structure of an asphalt mixture and therefore has a profound influence on its final volumetric and mechanical performance. This article describes the influence of var... Read More about Mechanical and structural assessment of laboratory- and field-compacted asphalt mixtures.

Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Lo Presti, D., Memon, N., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2014). Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens. In Asphalt Pavements: Proceedings of the International Conference on Asphalt Pavements, ISAP 2014, 1481-1489. doi:10.1201/b17219-180

Tyre Rubber Modified Binders (TR-MBs), produced through the McDonald wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have demonstrated various benefits to pavements and, moreover, they represent a good opportunity for recycling tyre rubber. How... Read More about Alternative methodologies to evaluate storage stability of rubberised bitumens.

Toward more realistic viscosity measurements of tyre rubber–bitumen blends (2014)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., Fecarotti, C., Clare, A. T., & Airey, G. (2014). Toward more realistic viscosity measurements of tyre rubber–bitumen blends. Construction and Building Materials, 67, 270-278. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2014.03.038

The measurement of rheological properties of the tyre rubber bitumen blends is often challenging due to presence of suspended tyre rubber’s crumbs. Furthermore, the phase separation during the course of measurements makes the viscosity of these non-h... Read More about Toward more realistic viscosity measurements of tyre rubber–bitumen blends.

Laboratory mix design of asphalt mixture containing reclaimed material (2014)
Journal Article
Collop, A., Abdul Hassan, N., Khan, R., Lo Presti, D., Khan, R., Hassan, N. A., …Collop, A. (2014). Laboratory mix design of asphalt mixture containing reclaimed material. Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2014(507082), https://doi.org/10.1155/2014/507082

This paper presents a study on the production of asphalt test specimens in the laboratory containing reclaimed asphalt. The mixtures considered were stone mastic asphalt concrete mixtures containing up to 30% of reclaimed asphalt. Specimens were comp...
