Pakistan is a developing country with economic issues that need to be addressed in order for the country to progress and prosper. Imports and exports decide the economic growth of a country. Unfortunately, Pakistan’s economy ...

Interstate highway construction is proceeding rapidly in Pakistan. Rutting resistance is a growing concern due to the proliferation of flexible pavements used in the construction of roads and highways. To go past this, ...

A well-known modifier, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), is a high molecular polymer changing the asphalt binders’ properties by mixing. A particular quantity of SBS modifier was added to asphalt to create SBS-modified ...

The Pakistan’s road network has been continuously deteriorating due to the ongoing rise in traffic volume, increased loads and the insufficient level of maintenance brought on by a lack of funding. In the wake of the ...

Premature failure of pavements due to distresses like fatigue cracking and permanent deformation are generally attributed to high temperature conditions and uncontrolled axle loads. These distresses attract additional ...

Asphalt often has polymers added to it to enhance properties that effectively lengthen the asphalt's lifespan. Styrene-butadiene-styrene is one polymer that is often added to asphalt A common modifier with a high molecular ...

Utilizing polymers complemented with nanomaterials has received great attention to balance the antagonistic effects of polymers while enhancing the performance of the asphalt concrete mixtures. This study investigates ...

Asphaltic materials are extensively used in construction of highways around the globe, owing to low initial cost compared to other materials. However, flexible pavements’ propensity to rutting and fatigue cracking reduces ...

Pakistan is leading towards a major motorway and highways system, and most of the roads are flexible pavements that have a higher susceptibility to Fatigue and Rutting. The utilization of Nano materials in Hot Mix Asphalt ...

The use of recycled materials and waste in road pavements is increasingly regarded not only as a good choice in terms of sustainability, but also as an appealing option in terms of delivering improved performance in terms ...
