Wang, Z. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author), Anupam, K. (author), van Lint, J.W.C. (author), Erkens, S. (author)Understanding the relationship between pavement raveling and traffic characteristics is important to pavement management and maintenance planning. In this work, we propose a framework to empirically quantify this relationship. It consists of an alignment method to tackle the inconsistent spatial-temporal scales of the raveling and traffic...conference paper 2022

Wang, H. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Microwave heating is a promising heating technology for the maintenance, recycling and deicing of pavement structures. Many experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the microwave heating properties of asphalt mixtures in the laboratory. However, very few studies investigated the application of microwave heating on asphalt...conference paper 2020

Apostolidis, P. (author), Wang, H. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Oxidative aging is a complex phenomenon in bitumen and its fundamental understanding is needed to optimize paving materials with long-lasting characteristics. This research reports on a diffuse-reaction model for predicting the oxidation of bituminous binders over time and under different conditions. As known, the oxidation of bitumen is...conference paper 2020

Wang, H. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Liu, X. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)Fundamental models should be developed and utilized in order to facilitate the chemo-mechanical design of modified binder systems for paving applications but not only. Especially, the fact that the incorporation of new chemical substances used as bio-based modifiers or alternative binders is attracting great interest to replace traditional...conference paper 2020
