Perspectives on multiscale, multiphase, and multiphysics issues in bituminous materials and pavements

Abstract

This special issue sets out to discuss various perspectives on multiscale, multiphase, and multiphysical issues in bituminous media (i.e. bituminous materials, mixtures, and pavements) by bringing together individual state-of-the-art approaches. It is meant to integrate theoretical, computational, and experimental methods along the above stated theme via significant efforts from relevant experts in our field. It is our eventual goal of this special issue to advance the current knowledge of bituminous materials/pavements with more fundamental aspects so as to improve our current practices in the materials selection, mixture design, structural design, and performance forecasting.
