Journal ArticleDOI
Are totally recycled hot mix asphalts a sustainable alternative for road paving
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of rejuvenator agents in improving the aged binders' properties and the recycled mixture performance and concluded that totally recycled asphalt pavement can be a good alternative for road paving, especially if rejuvenators are used to reduce their production temperature and improve their performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of warm mix asphalts using different blends of binders and synthetic paraffin wax contents
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of different blends of base bitumens (softer to harder ones) containing a range of synthetic wax contents, as well as the performance of the corresponding warm mix asphalts, were assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a warm mix asphalt additive to reduce the production temperatures and to improve the performance of asphalt rubber mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, a surfactant-based additive was used to reduce the mixing temperatures of asphalt rubber and asphalt concrete mixtures without compromising their performance, and this can be seen as a great step forward towards the production of cleaner asphalt rubber mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of the use phase on the LCA of environmentally friendly solutions for asphalt road pavements
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of the use phase of a road in the LCA of different paving alternatives was analyzed by evaluating energy consumption and gaseous emissions throughout the road pavement's life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporation of Waste Plastic in Asphalt Binders to Improve Their Performance in the Pavement
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the possible advantages of modifying the bitumen with different plastic wastes, namely polyethylene (high density HDPE and low density LDPE), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and crumb rubber, in order to improve the properties of the resulting binders for use in high performance asphalt mixtures.
