For failed pavements, full-depth reclamation (FDR) reclaims and treats an entire road structure – including underlying materials – to produce a stabilized base course ready for overlay. With FDR, an ...

A research team led by Elham Fini (shown here) is developing an algae-based asphalt binder to make roads more durable in cold climates. Snow and ice can damage paved surfaces, leading to frost heaves ...

Laying asphalt is normally a time consuming task, particularly on a new road or full depth reconstruction where at least three layers have to be laid and carefully compacted separately. However, an ...

Snow and ice can damage paved surfaces, leading to frost heaves and potholes. These become potential hazards for drivers and pedestrians and are expensive to fix. Now, researchers propose in ACS ...

In summer 2012 the emphasis was on high-performance asphalt mixes and placement as crews of Austin Industries – under terrific deadline pressure – laid three courses of critical pavement at the new ...

The widespread use of petroleum-based asphalt binders in the construction industry is accompanied by high material costs due to the volatility of the petroleum market and negative environmental ...
