The use of modifiers for bituminous binders has become common practice to enhance the performances asphalt materials. As a result, binder becomes more complex, with various phase morphologies. Conventional testing methods may not always be suitable. example, European standardisation committee is looking at different ways characterise Polymer modified Bitumen. RILEM Technical Committee 272-PIM ‘...

Increasing environmental awareness has led to a great research effort towards the formulation of increasingly sustainable pavements, mainly by developing bituminous mixtures incorporating waste materials. Furthermore, some materials have been proved be useful for enhancing performance road bitumen and products, so their use is potential solution ensuring environmental, economic, also technical ...

asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. this is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. this paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced stone mastic asphalt mixtures. fatigue...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the characteristic properties lignin-modified bitumen with different lignin contents. first step characterization physicochemical and thermal kraft powder along determination its microstructure. This achieved by carrying out an elemental analysis, Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)/Derivative Thermogravimetry...
