This paper investigates the effect of processing temperature and time on the rheological properties of recycled tyre rubber-modified bitumens (RTR-MBs) produced using two different base binders and an ambient ground crumb rubber modifier (CRM). The p... Read More about Rubberised bitumen manufacturing assisted by rheological measurements.

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...

Chemically modified bitumens with enhanced rheology and adhesion properties to siliceous aggregates (2015)
Journal Article
Cuadri, A., Partal, P., Ahmad, N., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (2015). Chemically modified bitumens with enhanced rheology and adhesion properties to siliceous aggregates. Construction and Building Materials, 93, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.05.098

Moisture damage is one of the major premature failures that worsens the performance and shortens service life of pavements. This research assesses the effect that two chemical modifiers (thiourea and an isocyanate-functionalized castor oil prepolymer...
