Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asphalt mixtures are composites consisting of aggregate and asphalt binders, and are the most commonly used paving materials globally. In recent years, new materials and construction techniques have been developed, such as warm-mix asphalt, cold in-place recycling, and various modifications and surface treatment methods.
This Special Issue, “Asphalt Mixtures with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement”, will address advances in materials design, processing, characterization, testing, their mechanical properties, road construction, and maintenance methods of asphalt mixtures and pavements, including implementable techniques that are useful to practicing engineers and others.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, as we are seeking to gather a series of high-quality articles related to pavement materials. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• asphalt pavement design and analysis;
• pavement recycling techniques;
• fatigue, aging and self-healing of asphalt materials;
• the use of waste materials in asphalt mixtures;
• pavement monitoring and testing;
• pavement evaluation and management;
• sustainability/durability assessment of asphalt pavements;
• asphalt binder modification.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
