There has been tremendous amount of research advances in the area of pavement materials and paving technologies in the past decade. These include the use of warm mix asphalt technologies, rubber asphalt, bioasphalt, nanomaterial applications, new construction technologies, new concrete materials, and the application of pavement mechanistic-empirical design. With all these developments, a collection of peer-reviewed articles with a theme of advanced asphalt materials and paving technologies is necessary for the industry, researchers, government agencies, and other stakeholders. This collection promotes new, low-cost technologies with high durability, environmental friendliness, and effective resource usage in the area of advanced asphalt materials and paving technologies. These papers include
  • Towards an Alternate Evaluation of Moisture-Induced Damage of Bituminous Materials [1]
  • Property Analysis of Exfoliated Graphite Nanoplatelets Modified Asphalt Model Using a Molecular Dynamics (MD) Method [2]
