Influence of Polymer and Rubber Modification on Fatigue Crack Propagation in Asphalt Mixtures: A Cyclic SCB and Paris Law Investigation

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 5099-5116, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Fatigue cracking is a major distress limiting asphalt pavement service life, and Paris law–based fracture mechanics offers a more mechanistic understanding than conventional fatigue testing. However, systematic characterization across diverse modifiers, dosages, notch depths, and temperatures remains limited.

Multi‐Model Machine Learning Framework for Predicting Drainage Performance of Porous Asphalt Mixtures

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
A multi‐model machine learning framework predicts four drainage indicators of porous asphalt mixtures from 11 macro‐void and meso‐pore descriptors. The stacking ensemble achieves R2 > 0.999, identifying connected void ratio, total void ratio, and volumetric mean pore diameter as dominant design variables. ABSTRACT Porous asphalt mixtures (PAM), such as

Electron‐Beam Irradiation of Ground Tire Rubber in Water for Surface Activation and Improved Recycling in Natural Rubber Compounds

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.
Electron‐beam irradiation of ground tire rubber (GTR) in water activates its surface through water‐radiolysis‐generated oxidants, without altering the rubber's internal structure. Incorporated into natural rubber compounds, the treatment improves the tensile strength by 30% and tear strength by 42% at low doses.

Seismic Versus Sub‐Seismic Experimental Mirror‐Like Fault Surfaces in Bituminous Dolostones

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Mirror‐like Surfaces (MSs) are ultra‐polished surfaces frequently found in exhumed seismogenic fault zones in carbonates. They form over a wide range of pressure‐temperature conditions and slip rates, from seismic (≈1 m/s) to sub‐seismic (≈0.1–100 μm/s), reflecting distinct phases of the seismic cycle.

Subsurface Hydrocarbon Biodegradation in the Context of Microbial Habitability and Hydrogeologic, Thermal, and Geologic Evolution of the Colorado Plateau

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Subsurface microbial ecosystems associated with hydrocarbon reservoirs are shaped by temperature, salinity, redox gradients, and fluid flow. However, the drivers of microbial activity and hydrocarbon biodegradation over geologic timescales remain poorly constrained.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 1179-1194, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.
