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.

Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Lo Presti, D., Brown, L., Kranthi, K., Grenfell, J., Airey, G., Collop, A., & Scarpas, T. (2012, August). Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes. Paper presented at Seventh International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Pavements and Technological Control

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is a 100% recyclable material, but at present in Europe the re-use of RA in mixes is limited and a huge amount of it is simply wasted. Furthermore, the recycling of asphalt often involves a certain downgrading of the material.... Read More about Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes.
