Li, Mingliang (author), Ren, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Wu, Zhe (author), Zhang, Haopeng (author), Fan, Weiyu (author), Lin, P. (author), Xu, Jian (author)This study aims to comprehensively investigate the rejuvenation efficiency of various self-developed compound rejuvenators on the physical, mechanical, and aging properties of aged bitumen, asphalt mortar, and mixture. The results revealed that the restoration capacity of vacuum distilled-oil rejuvenators on high-and-low temperature performance...journal article 2022

Apostolidis, P. (author), Liu, X. (author), Daniel, Gerald C. (author), Erkens, S. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author)The utilisation of synthetic fibres has been reported in the past showing enhancement of fatigue and thermal cracking resistance in asphaltic materials. However, the limited evidences about the benefits of these fibres in asphaltic materials at low material scales have been noticed. Also, the exact reinforcing mechanism of binding system in the...journal article 2019

Jing, R. (author), Liu, X. (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Asphalt mortar is a mixture of bitumen, filler, and sand. Mortar plays an important role in asphalt mixtures as it serves as the adhesive between the coarser aggregates. Due to the effect of bitumen ageing, the chemical and mechanical properties of asphalt mortar evolve with time. The mortar becomes more brittle and prone to cracking, thus...journal article 2018

Apostolidis, P. (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Kasbergen, C. (author), van de Ven, Martin (author)Induction heating technique is an innovative asphalt pavement maintenance method that is applied to inductive asphalt concrete mixes in order to prevent the formation of macro-cracks by increasing locally the temperature of asphalt. The development of asphalt mixes with improved electrical and thermal properties is crucial in terms of...journal article 2016
