Thermo-rheological characteristics of unmodified and modified bitumen have significant impacts on the mechanical response of asphalt. This study investigates the impacts of an organic and a chemical Warm Mix Asphalt additive on bitumen thermo-rheolog... Read More about Thermo-rheological analysis of WMA-additive modified binders.

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) for rapid construction in airfield pavement (2020)
Journal Article
Rahman, T., Dawson, A., & Thom, N. (2020). Warm mix asphalt (WMA) for rapid construction in airfield pavement. Construction and Building Materials, 246, Article 118411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2020.118411

© 2020 Elsevier Ltd Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) is commonly mixed and compacted 15°C to 30°C below that of conventional hot mix asphalt (HMA). The lower production temperature of WMA is expected to give an advantage of a lower cooling time of newly laid a...

Microstructure and mechanical properties of fibre reinforced asphalt mixtures (2020)
Journal Article
Mohammed, M., Parry, T., Thom, N., & Grenfell, J. (2020). Microstructure and mechanical properties of fibre reinforced asphalt mixtures. Construction and Building Materials, 240, Article 117932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2019.117932

Conventional asphalt mixtures can perform satisfactorily in most flexible pavement and airfield applications. However, during recent years the trend has been towards traffic growth, severe climate conditions, and heavier loads. This allied to durabil...
