1. The effect of filler type and shape on HMA energy dissipation performance.
University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknikAbstract : Hot mix asphalt pavements require adequate compaction to achieve the required density to resist rutting. The amount of energy required to achieve the optimum degree of compaction depends on the type of gradation, bitumen content, filler type and shape, type of compaction equipment etc. READ MORE

2. Evaluation of HMA fracture mechanics-based thermal cracking model.
University essay from KTH/TransportvetenskapAbstract : Low temperature cracking is an important form of asphalt pavement deterioration in cold regions. The cracks develop when thermally induced stresses exceed the fracture resistance of the asphalt pavement. READ MORE

4. Low Temperature Performance of Wax Modified Mastic Asphalt
University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknikAbstract : The current interest in energy saving asphalt production techniques is great and several new processes have been developed to reduce the mixing and compaction temperatures for hot mix asphalt. In particular, mastic asphalt products (Gussasphalt) require high working temperatures, and harder requirements concerning bitumen fumes and carbon dioxide emissions have been introduced for such products.
