Nanoclay is increasingly being integrated into construction materials to enhance their mechanical properties. This advanced material improves the durability and strength of concrete, making structures more resilient to environmental stresses. Research shows that incorporating nanoclay into asphalt can improve its performance and longevity in road construction. The paper focuses on laboratory research on the effect of nanoclay adding on bitumen binder properties. The changes in penetration, softening point, and vis...

One of the most important parameters of pavement serviceability in terms of view road safety is without doubt skid resistance. By now, a number of different methods and devices have been developed for both friction and texture evaluation. However, while measurements of friction coefficients tend to be subject to a large number of boundary conditions, texture measurements are affected by device limits without the possibility of detecting surface irregularities at the microtexture level, which appears to be crucial ...
