Mastic asphalt (MA) has been recognized as one of the most deformation-resistant and thus durable materials for bridge pavement. The performance properties MA are highly dependent on physical rheological binder applied in mixture. To modify to obtain expected mixture, Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA) is often applied. In this study, TLA-modified binders be used mastic pavement systems were evaluated...

Chios Mastic Gum (CMG) and Oil (CMO) are two unique products of the tree Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia, cultivated exclusively on Greek island Chios. In present study, method proposed by European Pharmacopoeia for mastic identification was employed using HPTLC together with an in-house method. A GC-MS methodology also developed chemical characterization CMOs. α-Pinene β-myrcene were found in abu...

Abstract Latest research is focused on predicting the fatigue behavior of asphalt mixtures through cost-effective and simple test methods mastic level (asphalt binder + mineral fines). There are numerous for binders using dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). However, up to now, results different tests DSR have not been directly compared. Therefore, four mixes were prepared, each was tested with two m...
