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)

Micromechanical modelling of complex shear modulus of crumb rubber modified bitumen
Crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) can be considered as a binary composite system where rubber particles are embedded in the bitumen matrix. The bitumen-rubber interaction process (mainly swelling) significantly changes the mechanical properties of ...

Life cycle costs and mid-term performance of a geogrid-stabilized pavement section, an economical and sustainable approach, case study, RN-39 Honduras [PDF]
When we talk about mechanical stabilization of granular layers with geogrids in roadway applications, we often mention that these pavements have a better performance along the time and a reduced cost along the whole life cycle.
