The field of Asphalt Materials and Pavement Engineering is undergoing significant innovation with developments in material science, life cycle assessment, and smart infrastructure systems. Asphalt ...

Given roads are everywhere and involve some carbon-intensive processes to build, scientists are investigating how alternative materials could make the whole process more sustainable. We've seen how ...

It can be termed as the building block of the pavements without which all the pavement materials would behave independently and thus will be deemed useless. Almost ninety percent of bitumen is used in ...

For failed pavements, full-depth reclamation (FDR) reclaims and treats an entire road structure – including underlying materials – to produce a stabilized base course ready for overlay. With FDR, an ...

Snow and ice can damage paved surfaces, leading to frost heaves and potholes. These become potential hazards for drivers and pedestrians and are expensive to fix. Now, researchers propose in ACS ...

When it comes to beating back climate change, the big ideas get the most buzz. But among talk of banning gas-burning cars, making tech companies run server farms on renewable energy, and ...

The development of porous asphalt pavements was a big innovation in the industry. Theses surfaces improve safety while also decreasing the sound pollution when cars drive on it. However, this type of ...
