The analysis of pavements and their ingredients has always been important due to a good understanding of their behavior under different conditions; that leads to more accurate relations. Due to the extent of asphalt mixture application in the world, the assessment of different behaviors of this mix is very important from various aspects of performance and safety. Given that the asphalt mixtures...

Abrasion susceptibility of highway pavements has a great impact on the skid resistance, and consequently accident rate. A rotational abrasion device is introduced, providing the advantage of field simulation of wheel passage, in comparison with existing standard methods. The device was used to measure abrasion susceptibility of concrete pavements with different textures. The obtained results we...

This Special Issue is dedicated to the modification of asphalt binders using certain additives as nanomaterials or special modifiers enhance performance and durability, seen through improved resistance ageing caused by climatic conditions, concrete forming core layers flexible pavements [...]

Concrete bridge decks are prone to ice accumulation. The use of road salts and chemicals for deicing is cost effective but causes damage to concrete and corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks. This problem is a major concern to transportation officials and public works due to rapid degradation of existing concrete pavements and bridge decks. The use of insulation materials for ...

Nanomaterials are considered to be one of the game-changing features in modern world and nanotechnology is mostly reputed as next-generation industrial revolution due extraordinary characteristics possessed by them at their very small scale. Graphene graphene oxide two main nanoscale materials that have seen a drastic increase use cement-based composites exemptional enhancements terms strength ...
