Fundamental understanding of micro-mechanical behaviors in bitumen, including phase separation, micro-friction, micro-abrasion, etc., can help the pavement engineers better understand the bitumen mechanical performances at macroscale. Recent researches show that the microstructure evolution in bitumen will directly affect its surface structure and micro-mechanical performance. In this study, th...

It was advised to use aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic petroleum resins and their derivatives obtained by oxidation of with a mixture hydrogen peroxide acetic acid as bitumen polymer-modifiers. Petroleum were ionic polymerization unsaturated compounds liquid pyrolysis products under the influence titanium tetrachloride-diethylaluminium chloride catalyst. established that maximum values adhes...

Abstract Recycling tires is one of the eco-friendly way for reducing environmental problems. Incorporating crumb rubber in asphalt mixtures an alternative reusing end-of-life road construction. The main purpose this study to evaluate cold mix incorporating as a substitute part fine aggregates. In study, aggregate gradations design were selected according specification, Dense Graded Emulsion Mix...

Nanomaterials exhibit novel properties and profound attributes as an additive in asphalt binder modification. However, the application of nano-silica binders mixture modification is still limited, further research required. Along these lines, this work, with a content from 2% to 8% increment was utilized modifying bitumen type C320, which considered most conventional used Western Australia road...

The increase in the number of vehicles during past twenty years has dramatically increased traffic density and axial loading. In addition to construction failures lack periodic maintenance, rapid deterioration road condition happens. So, it was necessary find solutions these problems that have been growing for years. One is improve asphalt mixture resist excessive loads weather fluctuations. Th...

The classical asphalt mix manufacturing commonly requires the heating and the complete drying of aggregates. The induced energy cost has opened the way to develop alternatives processes with low energy/ carbon materials such as Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). Their manufacturing requires specifics techniques to achieve similar performances than Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). However, manufacturing temperature ...

Microencapsulated rejuvenator has been attracted much attention for self-healing bitumen. The diffusion coefficient is one of the key parameters to estimate the feasibility of rejuvenator to age bitumen. The objective of this research was to evaluate diffusion behaviors of microencapsulated rejuvenator in aged bitumen by a FTIR-ATR method. Various microcapsule samples were mixed in bitumen to f...
