Effects of ageing on the damage tolerance of polymer modified bitumens investigated through the LAS test and fluorescence microscopy (2020)
Journal Article
Cuciniello, G., Leandri, P., Losa, M., & Airey, G. (2020). Effects of ageing on the damage tolerance of polymer modified bitumens investigated through the LAS test and fluorescence microscopy. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 23(4), 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2020.1788031

The effects of polymer modification on the durability of Polymer Modified Bitumens (PMBs) still remain relatively unclear due to partial understanding of the combined effects of ageing and loading on damage accumulation. This paper investigates the e... Read More about Effects of ageing on the damage tolerance of polymer modified bitumens investigated through the LAS test and fluorescence microscopy.

Binder and Mixture Fatigue Performance of Plant-Produced Road Surface Course Asphalt Mixtures with High Contents of Reclaimed Asphalt (2019)
Journal Article
Subhy, A., Pires, G., Carrión, A., Lo Presti, D., & Airey, G. (2019). Binder and Mixture Fatigue Performance of Plant-Produced Road Surface Course Asphalt Mixtures with High Contents of Reclaimed Asphalt. Sustainability, 11(13), https://doi.org/10.3390/su11133752

© 2019 by the authors. The aged properties of Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) binders are one of the main factors working against their utilisation in high-RA content ( > 30%) mixes for surface courses. Fatigue cracking is the main distress of surface courses...
