A step toward a micromechanics‐informed neural network for predicting asphalt mixture stiffness

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 23, Page 3624-3651, 19 September 2025.
Abstract Asphalt mixtures show complex mechanical behavior due to their heterogeneous structure. Traditionally, the mechanical characterization of asphalt mixture is done through laboratory testing or micromechanical modeling. While laboratory tests and micromechanical models provide reliable measurements and physical interpretability, they are often ...

Hybrid deep learning model for predicting failure properties of asphalt binder from fracture surface images

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 16, Page 2248-2268, 30 June 2025.
Abstract Cracking impacts asphalt concrete durability primarily due to cohesive asphalt binder failures. The poker chip test has recently been introduced to better characterize the cracking potential of asphalt binders by fracturing a specimen in a realistic stress state to a thin binder film.

Effect of asphalt modified with waste engine oil on the durability properties of hot asphalt mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement

open access: yesOpen Engineering
The increased demand for asphalt and other materials involved in the construction of pavement led to an increase in the cost of these materials, which calls for searching for alternatives to virgin materials that can be used to produce asphalt mixtures ...

Utilizing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Materials in New Pavements - A Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Thermal and Environmental Engineering, 2017
Recently, prices of asphalt pavement materials have been increasing tremendously, which led to attempts to find alternative cheap materials. In addition, more concerns are directed to preserving natural resources and reducing environmental impacts of using virgin asphalt binders, thus more attention is focused on the use of recycled materials in ...

Physical and Mechanical Properties of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Incorporated into Unbound Pavement Layers

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Against the backdrop of global warming and depletion of natural resources, new techniques and alternative materials need to be explored and integrated into road construction. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that can be reused in new road projects if its behavior is better understood.

Light Absorbing Particles Deposited to Snow Cover Across the Upper Colorado River Basin, Colorado, 2013–2016: Interannual Variations From Multiple Natural and Anthropogenic Sources

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 130, Issue 2, 28 January 2025.
Abstract Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) as light‐absorbing particles (LAPs) deposited to snow cover can result in early onset and rapid snow melting, challenging management of downstream water resources. We identified LAPs in 38 snow samples (water years 2013–2016) from the mountainous Upper Colorado River basin by comparing among laboratory ...

Gridlock: Infrastructure and Jurisdiction in Eastern Navajo Agency

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 169-192, January 2025.
Abstract This article examines how settler legal orders in Eastern Navajo Agency produce conditions of impasse that defer investments in life sustaining infrastructures, like roads. Focusing on the conjuncture of infrastructural decay and jurisdictional friction amid an oil and gas boom, I elaborate a concept of “gridlock” as a deadly effect of settler
