Apostolidis, P. (author), Porot, Laurent (author)Bituminous binders are foreseen as colloidal dispersed systems characterised by high chemical complexity containing a plethora of molecules classified into maltenes and asphaltenes. The effect of these fractions on the overall response of bituminous binders remains elusive. This research selected two binders from the same refinery but with...journal article 2023

Anupam, K. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Erkens, S. (author), van Aggelen, M. (author)Membranes of sufficient bonding characteristics could improve the integrity of the multi-layer structures on orthotropic steel deck bridges (OSBDs), enhancing thus the structural response of these systems and, ultimately, their service life. In this research, full-scale experiments were performed at the LINTRACK accelerated pavement testing...journal article 2022

Porot, Laurent (author), Mouillet, Virginie (author), Margaritis, Alexandros (author), Haghshena, Hamzeh (author), Elwardany, Michael (author), Apostolidis, P. (author)InfraRed spectrometry is a powerful technique to characterise bituminous binders. The methodology is not fully harmonised and may lead to vari-ability. The RILEM-272-PIM-TG1, evaluated seven complex bituminous, for which eleven laboratories performed FTIR. While, the spectra showed sim-ilar trends, further analysis was needed to improve...journal article 2022

Miller, Seirgei (author), Bijleverld, Frank (author), Erkens, S. (author), Anupam, K. (author)Governments, regulatory bodies and road authorities all push for and promote sustainability. Contractors respond with strategies to reduce their carbon footprints. Besides optimising their asphalt production and logistics processes, companies are investing in the development of low energy asphalt mixes. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is such an asphalt...journal article 2015

Pauli, A.T. (author)As a contribution to the development of mutli-scale multi-physics approaches to modelling pavement performance, the present thesis considers the topic of damage accumulation accompanied by damage recover self-healing of the bituminous asphalt phase of pavement systems. It is found insightful that by adopting Hveem’s [1943] concept of attributing...doctoral thesis 2014

Van den Bergh, W. (author), McNally, C. (author), De Keersmaecker, A. (author), Fallon, E. (author)An asphalt mixture is believed to be a partial self-healing material. For asphalt pavement design, this characteristic is taken into account as a shift healing factor. Healing during rest periods will result in a longer structural design life for the mixture in situ, compared to the fatigue life determined with a continuous sinusoidal test in...conference paper 2013

(author)Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is one of the largest fractions of raw materials used in road construction today. Probably over 90% of the total RA in the Netherlands is being reused in new asphalt constructions. RA contains aggregates coated with very hard bitumen (penetration grade of 10-20). During service, the bituminous binder loses its flexibility...conference paper 2013

This self-healing capability is evidenced by the observation that the service life of these materials in the field exceeds the service life as predicted by standard mechanical laboratory tests. This mismatch between laboratory prediction and field...conference paper 2013

Qiu, J. (author)Traffic is increasing rapidly in terms of number of vehicles and also in axle loads. In order to maximize the availability of the pavement and to minimize hindrances to traffic because of maintenance works, long life pavements are needed. An asphalt pavement with self repairing capabilities is believed to be very useful to this respect. The self...doctoral thesis 2012
