TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a research into the technical viability of heating asphalt mixtures with microwaves and how the microwaves influence the heating process of the different variables involved.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive hybrid life cycle assessment of warm mix asphalt (WMA) production was carried out to accurately evaluate and quantify the potential benefits of WMA technology by assessing the environmental impacts of its production associated with energy consumption and GHG emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of four viscosity-reducing additives (Sasobit, Asphaltan A, asphaltan B, and Licomont BS 100) on a bitumen modified with 15% rubber was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of warm mix asphalt (WMA) additives on the properties of crumb rubber modified (CRM) binders has been investigated and the results indicate that though the additives lower the viscosity of the CRM binders, they increase the stiffness at low temperatures, therefore increasing the likelihood that the asphalt binder and pavement will crack.

TL;DR: This paper analyses the effect of water on the durability of hot asphalt mixtures made with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition debris and of natural quarry aggregates and found that the most important factor affecting resistance was the moisture state (dry, wet) of the specimens.
