TL;DR: In this article , the performance of unmodified and modified asphalt binders were studied at various aging conditions, and the discussed data supports that: (1) Extended aging allows binder distinction beyond performance grading (2) Intermediate-temperature small-strain rheological parameters of binders may be predicted using low-Temperature smallstrain parameters, and vice versa.

TL;DR: The 2008 Airfield and Highway Pavements Conference in Bellevue, Washington as mentioned in this paper explored the newest advances and challenges in pavement design and construction, including pavement modeling, characterization of pavement materials, pavement management, evaluation, and rehabilitation; performance of stabilized and unbound pavement layers; pavement design, analysis, and performance studies.

TL;DR: In this article , a laboratory study confirmed that abrasion and loss of surface binder is the primary mechanism for the rapid increase in albedo of asphalt concrete pavements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mixed-mode fracture mechanism of load-associated reflective cracking in hot-mix asphalt overlay placed on jointed concrete pavement (JCP) using a three-dimensional finite element model, the joint response to loading was evaluated using virtual falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing.
