Recycled Tyre Rubber Modified Bitumens for road asphalt mixtures: A literature review (2013)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D. (2013). Recycled Tyre Rubber Modified Bitumens for road asphalt mixtures: A literature review. Construction and Building Materials, 49, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2013.09.007

Nowadays, only a small percentage of waste tyres are being land-filled. The Recycled Tyre Rubber is being used in new tyres, in tyre-derived fuel, in civil engineering applications and products, in moulded rubber products, in agricultural uses, recre...

Tyre rubber-modified bitumens development: the effect of varying processing conditions (2013)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., & Airey, G. (2013). Tyre rubber-modified bitumens development: the effect of varying processing conditions. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 14(4), 888-900. doi:10.1080/14680629.2013.837837

Tyre rubber-modified binders (TR-MBs), produced through McDonald's wet process and used worldwide (e.g. asphalt rubber), have been demonstrated to provide various benefits to pavements and, moreover, they represent a good opportunity for recycling ty...

Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens (2013)
Journal Article
Lo Presti, D., Hassan, N., Airey, G., & Collop, A. (2013). Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 14(SUPPL.1), 120-131. doi:10.1080/14680629.2013.774750

This study highlights the importance of defining appropriate specimen manufacturing procedures when assessing the fundamental properties of reclaimed asphalt (RA) mixes for further modelling purposes. Two gyratory compactor procedures were used: the... Read More about Fundamental characterisation of reclaimed asphalts: the importance of testing homogeneous specimens.
