Asphalt Binder Testing at Low Temperature: Three-Point Bending Beam Test in Dynamic Shear Rheometer
A novel Three-Point Bending Beam Test (3-PBT) using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) with linear drive motor is introduced for testing asphalt binder at low temperature conditions. This 3-PBT in DSR can be used as surrogate for Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR)

Resonant Acoustic Spectroscopy for Measuring Complex Modulus of Bitumen [PDF]
The complex modulus is one of the intrinsic properties of bituminous materials, and, hence, is of importance for their rheological characterization.

Rheological Evaluation of Modified Bitumen by EVA and Crumb Rubber Using RSM Optimization
In the present study, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and crumb rubber (CR) were used as bitumen modifiers. The experiment was designed by response surface methodology (RSM) at different levels of modifier additives based on the central composite design ...

The objectives of this study were to develop a process to produce acid curd from micellar casein concentrate (MCC) using starter cultures and to manufacture imitation Mozzarella cheese (IMC) using a combination of acid curd and MCC that would confer emulsification ability to the caseins without the use of emulsifying salts (ES).

Effects of Waste Cooking Oil on the Antiageing Ability of Bitumen
Ageing is considered one of the significant issues faced by bituminous mixtures. The short‐term ageing phase involves a significant rise in the bitumen’s viscosity, which may lead to early raveling and cracking. Antiageing additives are prescribed to reduce the effects of short‐term ageing.

Improvement of Engineering Properties of Asphalt Binder and Mixture by Using SBS Additive Material
Rutting, thermal cracking, and stripping are among the most severe distress types in asphalt pavement. In this study, a specified type of styrene‐butadiene‐styrene (SBS) was used as a modifier for a low viscosity asphalt binder G80/100 (PG 58‐22) to overcome the issues of the distresses in the asphalt mixture.
