Asphalt Mixtures and Pavements Design (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Asphalt mixtures are composites consisting of aggregate and asphalt binders, and are the most commonly used paving materials globally. In recent years, new materials and construction techniques have been developed, such as warm-mix asphalt, cold in-place recycling, and various modifications and surface treatment methods.
This Special Issue, “Asphalt Mixtures with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement”, will address advances in materials design, processing, characterization, testing, their mechanical properties, road construction, and maintenance methods of asphalt mixtures and pavements, including implementable techniques that are useful to practicing engineers and others.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, as we are seeking to gather a series of high-quality articles related to pavement materials. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

•    asphalt pavement design and analysis;
•    pavement recycling techniques;
•    fatigue, aging and self-healing of asphalt materials;
•    the use of waste materials in asphalt mixtures;
•    pavement monitoring and testing;
•    pavement evaluation and management;
•    sustainability/durability assessment of asphalt pavements;
•    asphalt binder modification.
