Sustainability and materials recycling have increasingly acquired importance in various aspects of life. It has well known that 95% roads are paved with hot mix asphalt (HMA), their raw require a lot energy to prepare lead the release considerable amount CO2 into environment. As result, developing new technologies sustainable asphaltic mixture consumes less is eco-friendly becomes necessity. Th...

This study examines the effectiveness of HMA overlay design strategies for the purpose of controlling the development of reflective cracking. A parametric study was conducted using a 3D Finite Element (FE) model of a rigid pavement section including Linear Viscoelastic (LVE) material properties for the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay and non-uniform tire-pavement contact stresses. Several asphalt...

Due to the consideration of energy conservation and emission reduction, Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is used in construction foamed asphalt a common agent WMA. The objective this paper explore foaming mechanism distribution law its components, as well basic properties. expansion rate half-life were describe properties determine optimum water content. microscopic images aided study morphological chang...

Of the $150 million USD pledged for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), approximately one-third ($50 million USD) is designated for Asphalt Binder Research. The SHRP program is a fiveyear, highly focused, product-oriented research effort. The goal of the asphalt portion of the program is to issue a new binder and mixture specification that will help federal, state and local regulator...
