Rheological Evaluation of Bitumen Modified With Polyethylene and Crumb Rubber via the Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) Test: A Case Study

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Conventional polymer modification of bitumen, while enhancing in‐service performance, often leads to increased material costs. Recycled tire‐derived crumb rubber (CR) presents a sustainable and economically viable alternative, offering valuable elastomeric properties and environmental benefits by diverting waste from landfills.

Evaluation of the Durability of a Waste Plastic–Enhanced Asphalt Road Pavement in Extreme Future London Weather Conditions

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, posing challenges to the durability of asphalt road pavement systems. Incorporating waste plastics, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), into asphalt mixtures has been proposed as a potential approach to reduce bitumen demand and modify mechanical performance ...

A Unified MARS‐NRBO Model for Predicting Dynamic Modulus of Asphalt Concretes and Stone Matrix Asphalts Produced by Hot and Warm Technologies

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The dynamic modulus (|E∗|) is the key parameter to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt mixtures, making it an essential component of the mechanistic‐empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG). However, direct laboratory measurement of |E∗| is time‐consuming and costly, motivating the development of reliable predictive models.

Evolution of clogging of porous asphalt concrete in the seepage process through integration of computer tomography, computational fluid dynamics, and discrete element method

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 12, Page 1652-1674, 9 May 2025.
Abstract The longevity of porous asphalt pavement is inevitably compromised by the clogging of voids by various particles, leading to a degradation in its drainage function. Numerical simulations with real pore structures were used to investigate the clogging behavior of porous asphalt concrete (PAC) to clearly and intuitively understand its void ...

Investigation of the Temperature‐Dependent Precompaction and Flow Behavior of Hot Mix Asphalt

Material Design &Processing Communication, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The flow behavior and precompaction resistance were investigated for the first time as part of this study. New laboratory methods were developed and applied for this purpose, some of which were based on already established methods. In order to evaluate the influence of temperature on the paving behavior of the asphalt paver, the flow behavior and ...
