TL;DR: In this paper, the interfacial adhesion between oxidised bitumen and mineral surfaces at dry and wet conditions was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations using bitumen models and four representative mineral substrates (namely quartz, calcite, albite and microcline).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of mineral types and water on the adhesion properties and debonding behaviors of bitumen-mineral interface systems were evaluated using a molecular dynamics modeling approach.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D numerical model of asphalt mixtures was assembled with three different components, and was validated by uniaxial compression tests via comparison with the laboratory result.

TL;DR: In this article, the structural performance and sustainability of cold recycled asphalt pavements were evaluated using four cold recycling technologies, including the cold central-plant recycling with emulsified and foamed asphalt binders (CCPR-E and CCPR-F), and the cold in-place recycling, which reduced energy consumption by 56-64% and decreased greenhouse gas emissions by 39-46%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using the recycled building-related construction and demolition (C&D) wastes in highway embankment was evaluated by measuring the resilient modulus and permanent deformation of recycled C&D wastes.
