Topic: The Aging Properties of SBS Modified Bitumen and Its Recycling;
Speaker: Dr. Xiaoming Huang, Professor, Associate Dean, School of Transportation, Southeast University, China;
Thursdays, 4:00 p.m. #642 Dow.
Brief Abstract: In China, following the huge new highway constructions, large portion of the highway network needs to be maintained and rehabilitated. Reclaimed asphalt material has been studied, produced and used for pavement rehabilitations. This lecture will cover the study of aging of the modified asphalt binder, the influence of mineral filler and trichloroethylene. The lecture will also cover an introduction of research in pavement engineering in China as well as the research in Southeast university in China.
Please find the detailed seminar flyer in the attachment.
