Reliable accelerated simulation of asphalt aging is significant interest to researchers and pavement practitioners alike. However, current laboratory protocols are either based on binder rather than mixture or use dry ovens heat mixtures, omitting the important effects UV radiation. Binder cannot take into account interactions between aggregate phases during aging, while omission radiation igno...

The increase in the number of road construction projects has led to an need for pavement materials (aggregate and asphalt). Currently it takes about 1.6 million tonnes/year asphalt, as well aggregate. Seeing these conditions, is necessary anticipate use waste or natural resources that have not been utilized optimally. In this study, fly ash (PLTU waste) was used aggregate Asbuton (Buton Island ...

Due to periodic variations in temperature and heavy traffic loading, hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavements undergo considerable distress during their service life. The rheological properties of binder, when subjected complex physical chemical processes, make it stiff sometimes brittle, which ultimately plays a huge part pavement deterioration. This phenomenon is commonly known as aging. Incorporating...
