Use of waste plastic materials for road construction in Ghana

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2017
This paper forms part of research to solve two main problems in Ghana: firstly, the management of municipal solid waste (MSW), particularly with regards to used plastics which have overwhelmed major cities and towns; secondly, the formation of potholes ...

Human‐Centered Monitoring of Asphalt Emissions: Linking Exposure, Climate, and Health

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
A human‐centered framework linking heat‐driven asphalt emissions to real‐world exposure, biological response, and functional health outcomes, highlighting how climate‐sensitive infrastructure can become a measurable, manageable source of urban environmental and health risk. ABSTRACT Urban infrastructure shapes environmental quality not only through its

Rheological properties of modified Bitumen: Comparison of waste polymers’ performance [PDF]

Journal of Particle Science and Technology, 2015
In this investigation, rheological properties of three different polymer-modified bitumen compounds containing recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET), crumb rubber (CR) and poly (styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) are evaluated and compared.

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Fatigue Analysis of Bitumen Modified with Composite of Nano-SiO2 and Styrene Butadiene Styrene Polymer

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020
Since fatigue cracking is caused in the middle-temperature conditions due to the stresses from heavy traffic and as the bitumen plays a very important role in controlling this failure, therefore, in recent years, the production of the modified bitumen ...

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.

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.
