ABSTRACT Winter temperature extremes are of major interest due to their potential damaging impacts related to pavement temperature and thermal cracking. In the present paper, three climate indices are adopted [...]

ABSTRACT Aggregate skeleton is the main load carrying part, which is important for the performance of asphalt mixture. Fine aggregate break the skeleton of coarse aggregate is defined as disruption. [...]

ABSTRACT Foamed warm asphalt has become an effective option to common asphalt technologies. It is quite significant for foamed asphalt to be used widely with regard to the mechanical investigation [...]

ABSTRACT Semi-rigid base material is widely used because of its lower costs, yet the issue of the incompatibility of cement materials and asphalt materials in the semi-rigid-base asphalt pavement is [...]

ABSTRACT The low-temperature performance of an asphalt mixture plays important roles in the thermal cracking mechanism of asphalt pavements in cold regions. However, the existing asphalt mixture design process does [...]

ABSTRACT The interfacial behavior between asphalt binder and mineral fillers directly effects the performance of asphalt mastics or asphalt mixture. However, the understanding about the interfacial interaction between these components [...]

ABSTRACT An asphalt mastic imparts most of its characteristics to the asphalt concrete mixture and also dictates several forms of distresses in asphalt mixtures and pavements. Several studies have demonstrated [...]

ABSTRACT Failure behavior of asphalt mixture is the process of local deformation accumulation, therefore, local deformation investigation is the base work of failure behavior. Digital image correlation (DIC) method is [...]

ABSTRACT Fatigue damage caused by vehicle loads is the main asphalt pavement distress, and it deteriorates the serviceability and strength seriously. In order to evaluate the fatigue damage of asphalt [...]

ABSTRACT The workability of grouting cement asphalt emulsion (CA) mortar is governed by the intrinsic thixotropic behavior of CA paste, but limited information is reported about the thixotropic behavior of [...]

ABSTRACT The high--and low-temperature performance of asphalt binders have an important effect on the rutting and cracking resistance of asphalt pavements, thus these are two of the most important performance [...]

ABSTRACT This paper explores the applicability of the logit function to reproduce the evolution of the stiffness of asphalt specimens during fatigue testing. Three logit-based models are formulated, and they [...]

ABSTRACT The rheology of fresh CA pastes of different asphalt emulsion to cement mass ratio (AE/C) with different particle volume fraction was studied. A modified Herschel-Bulkley model was proposed to [...]

ABSTRACT In order to establish proper evaluation methods and indicators for cold mix asphalt (CMA), various scales test methods were used to study the interfacial behavior between asphalt binder and [...]

ABSTRACT As a grouting material, the flow ability and uniformity of fresh cement asphalt emulsion mortar (hereinafter abbreviated as CA mortar) are governed by its rheological properties. The rheological properties [...]

This study aims to evaluate the laboratory performance of warm mix asphalt containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (WMA-RAP) materials. The WMA mixtures containing 0% and 40% RAP were produced using Evotherm-DAT [...]

ABSTRACT The healing performance of asphalt binder is important to the overall performance of asphalt pavement. A suitable healing evaluation index is critical in order to compare the healing performance [...]
