Characterizing the Interaction Mechanism between Asphalt and Mineral Filler in Asphalt Mastics of Mastic Asphalt Concrete Using Rheological Analysis, Hirsch Model, and 3D DEM

Abstract Asphalt binder and mineral filler are key components that significantly affect the properties of mastic asphalt (MA) mixtures. Asphalt mastic, formed by mixing mineral filler and asphalt binder, offers an effective way to study their roles within the MA system. This stud...
