Design and Performance of Open-Graded Friction Course Mixtures Containing Epoxy Asphalt

Anand, Anurag (2021-11-30)

Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) is a type of pavement primarily composed of coarse aggregates and high asphalt content. Higher permeability, better friction resistance, improved visibility, reduced pavement noise, and ...

Laboratory and Field Characterization of Additive-Modified Asphalt Concrete Mixtures

Kmetz, Matthew (2023-11-27)

There is a need for a more rapid system of evaluation and implementation for new and existing asphalt additives, especially due to the prohibitive cost of full-scale performance evaluations. To help to meet this need, ...

Laboratory Performance Characterization of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Aging-Resistant Technologies

Garita Jimenez, Josue (2024-05-06)

Incorporating various aging-resistant technologies to prevent the adverse effects of aging into asphalt mixtures is believed to slow down the oxidative aging process of asphalt binders and, therefore, asphalt mixtures. ...

Novel Methods for Adding Rejuvenators in Asphalt Mixtures with High Recycled Binder Ratios

Langan, Mariah (2022-07-25)

Most asphalt mixtures being placed in the United States currently use RAP as not only a sustainable method of building pavement surfaces but also an economical one. The stiffness and brittleness of the aged RAP binder, ...

A Performance-based Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures with High Recycled Asphalt Material Contents and Recycling Agents

Fortunatus, Mawazo (2021-12-15)

It is agreed that the stiffness and rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures containing recycled asphalt material (RAM) increase with increasing their content; however, their cracking resistance and durability decrease due ...

Rheological and Chemical Evaluation of Aging Resistant Binder Technologies

Keuliyan Rodriguez, Faustina (2022-05-02)

Asphalt binder is a dark-colored cementitious hydrocarbon material, with a complex chemical composition that is heavily dependent on crude oil source and manufacturing process. Binder chemistry has been modelled as a ...

Use of Anova Asphalt Rejuvenator and Balanced Mix Design Principle to Improve the Performance of High-RAP Asphalt Mixtures

Ajede, Akeem (2019-10-22)

The use of recycled materials like Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures is now a common practice with associated economic, social, and environmental benefits. However, asphalt mixture performance issues, ...

Validation of Laboratory Cracking Tests for Field Top-down Cracking Performance

Chen, Chen (2020-04-20)

Top-down cracking (TDC) has been widely reported as a primary mode of distress in asphalt pavements. Currently, there is no consensus on a practical laboratory cracking test that can reliably predict an asphalt mixture’s ...
