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...

Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, J., Apeagyei, A. K., Airey, G. D., & Grenfell, J. R. (2015). Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion. International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives, 62, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2015.06.012

The effects of aggregate mineralogical composition on moistures sensitivity of aggregate–bitumen bonds were investigated using four aggregate types (two limestone and two granite)and two bitumen grades (40/60 penand70/100pen). Moisture sensitivity... Read More about Influence of aggregate mineralogical composition on water resistance of aggregate–bitumen adhesion.

Journal Article
Iliffe, S., Davies, S. L., Gordon, A. L., Schneider, J., Dening, T., Bowman, C., …Goodman, C. (2016). Provision of NHS generalist and specialist services to care homes in England: review of surveys. Primary Health Care Research and Development, 17(2), 122-137. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1463423615000250

Background: The number of beds in care homes (with and without nurses) in the United Kingdom is three times greater than the number of beds in National Health Service (NHS) hospitals. Care homes are predominantly owned by a range of commercial, not-f... Read More about Provision of NHS generalist and specialist services to care homes in England: review of surveys.
