The continuous growth of industrial solid waste production has generated many environmental problems. We evaluated the potential of industrial solid waste as a substitute filler in asphalt mastic, with the aim of increasing the use of sustainable road construction materials. In this study, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the oxide composition and micromorphology of limestone (LS), red mud (RM), steel slag (SS), and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS). Four asphalt mastics containing LS, RM, SS, and GGBFS with a filler-to-binder weight ratio of one were prepared. An evaluation of the rheology and wetting of the solid-waste-filler asphalt mastic was conducted using a frequency sweep, temperature sweep, linear amplitude sweep (LAS), multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR), and surface free energy (SFE) methods. The results showed that SS increased the complex modulus, elastic component of the asphalt mastic and decreased the nonrecoverable creep compliance at stress levels of 0.1 and 3.2 kPa, which improved the rutting resistance of the asphalt mastic and reduced deformation under high-temperature conditions. The RM and GGBFS increased the fatigue performance of the asphalt mastic under strain loading, enhanced its fatigue life, and maintained good performance under long-term loading. The dispersive component of the SFE parameter of the solid-waste-filler asphalt mastic was larger than the polar component for the largest share of the surface energy composition. The SFE of the asphalt mastic prepared from the industrial solid-waste filler was reduced; however, the difference was insignificant compared to the limestone asphalt mastic. Solid-waste-filler asphalt mastic has performance characteristics, and its actual application can be based on different performance characteristics to select an appropriate solid-waste filler. The results of this study provide new technological solutions for solving the utilization rate of solid waste materials and sustainable road construction in the future.

In order to solve the problems of rutting and early fatigue cracks in emulsified asphalt cold recycled pavement, and the shortage of natural stone resources and new environmental hazards caused by the use of traditional limestone powder filler. In this study, coal gangue powder was added to prepare Emulsified Asphalt Mastic (EAM) to improve the rheological properties and fatigue performance. A series of tests, including frequency scanning, temperature scanning, Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR), Linear Amplitude Scanning (LAS), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted.

Article Synopsis
- New asphalt mixtures have been enhanced with various fibers, leading to lower temperatures and energy usage during production while also improving durability and environmental impact.
- The study focuses on analyzing different cellulose sources (bagasse, corrugated paperboard, and commercial cellulose) to assess their effectiveness as drainage inhibitors in Stone Mastic Asphalt.
- Findings indicate that although all cellulose types have similar properties, corrugated paperboard is the most efficient option at lower concentrations due to its unique morphological characteristics and lignin content.
Preliminary Study on Multi-Scale Modeling of Asphalt Materials: Evaluation of Material Behavior through an RVE-Based Approach.

This study employs a microstructure-based finite element modeling approach to understand the mechanical behavior of asphalt mixtures across different length scales. Specifically, this work aims to develop a multi-scale modeling approach employing representative volume elements (RVEs) of optimal size; this is a key issue in asphalt modeling for high-fidelity fracture modeling of heterogeneous asphalt mixtures. To determine the optimal RVE size, a convergence analysis of homogenized elastic properties is conducted using two types of RVEs, one made with polydisperse spherical inclusions, and another made with polydisperse truncated cylindrical inclusions, each aligned with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official's maximum density gradation curve for a 12.

Using data on in situ performance of low noise pavements, three well performing mixtures were selected: SDA 4, SDA 6, and SDA 8. These mixtures and the corresponding mastic (filler + bitumen + additive) were tested for their mechanical and acoustic performance in non-aged and aged states using a multi-scale approach (mm to km). Thereafter, an optimization protocol was applied to these mastics (mm-scale) and promising combinations were implemented at the mixture scale (cm-scale).
