Fracture Properties and Fatigue Cracking Resistance of Asphalt Binders

Description: "The main objective of this study was to evaluate the inherent fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt binders in the form of a matrix with rigid particle inclusions. The underlying rational for this approach was to subject the binders to a state of stress that is similar to the one in a full asphalt mixture."

Quantitative characterization of microstructure of asphalt mixtures

Description: "The main objective of this study was to quantitatively characterize the three dimensional micro-structure of the asphalt binder withing the fine aggregate matrix of an asphalt mixture and compare the influence of binder content, coarse aggregate gradation, and fine aggregate gradation on this micro-structure."

Design and Construction of Ultra Thin Overlays as an Alternative to Seal Coats

Description: Report on the results of a study examining ultra thin asphalt overlays to protect pavement's skid-resistance. This study had three major objectives: determine the best mix type for use as an ultra thin overlay, evaluate the volumetric-based criterion that is currently used to determine the optimum binder content for mixes used in ultra thin overlays using performance tests relevant for surface mixes, and identify the properties of the tack coat that are required to construct such mixes in the f… more

Binder Rheology and Performance in Warm Mix Asphalt : Interim Report

Description: This report presents the preliminary findings from a study conducted to investigate the influence of chemical warm mix asphalt (WMA) additives and reduced aging on the viscosity, stiffness, susceptibility to permanent deformation, fracture resistance, and thermal cracking resistance of asphalt binders.
