 · Asphalt pavements can withstand substantial loads and environmental conditions for a reasonable time [].Various forms of admixtures have been used to prolong the serviceability life of pavements by alleviating temperature effect and cracking of asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures [2,3].Numerous studies have shown that in this use, fiber, …

Typically, HMA mixtures are divided into three mixture categories: dense-graded; open-graded; and gap-graded as a function of the aggregate gradation used in the mix. A variation on traditional hot-mix asphalt is …

 · Job mix formulas with 12.5 mm and 25 mm aggregate size were chosen for HMA and WMA. One WMA technology was used which is an organic additive; two additives were used Asphaltan A® and Asphaltan B®. All the mixture types are testes and compared with each other. The rutting sensitivity of the mixtures is evaluated using Wheel Track test.

 · This paper investigates the thermal properties of asphalt mixtures modified with conductive fillers used for snow melting and solar harvesting pavements. Two different mixing processes were adopted to mold asphalt mixtures, dry- and wet-mixing, and two conductive fillers were used in this study, graphite and carbon black.

Traditional asphalt mixture design practices recognize the need for laboratory parameters, which relate to field performance throughout the life of the pavement. However, many design methodologies consider volumetric proportions and strength characteristics of the mixtures, which may not provide adequate insight into mixture performance.
