Investigating the effect of natural aggregate on asphalt mixture performance by integrating experimental evaluation and explainable machine learning

Abstract Natural aggregate (NA) is commonly incorporated into asphalt mixtures as part of the aggregate skeleton; however, excessive NA content may adversely affect mechanical strength and deformation resistance. This study investigates the influence of NA content on asphalt mixt...

Predictive correlations and mechanical assessment of asphalt mixtures modified by sasobit redux and crumb rubber

Abstract To satisfy advanced pavement design methodologies such as the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures through parameters like the dynamic modulus│E*│is critical. However, obtaining these parameters via advanced l...
