Evaluation of Asphalt Mixes Comprised of Binder and Asphaltenes Derived from Oil Sands

This research project focused on: 1) improving low-temperature properties of high-modulus base course comprised of Alberta oil sands-derived asphaltenes-enriched binder using fibers and 2) investigating the impact of using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) on physical and mechanical properties of asphalt emulsion stabilized base course modified using asphaltenes.
