State of the Art Study on Aging of Asphalt Mixtures and Use of Antioxidant Additives by Okan Sirin, Dalim K. Paul, Emad Kassem

“…This hardening process, referred to as asphalt aging, is generally defined as change in the rheological properties of asphalt binders/mixtures due to changes in chemical composition during construction and its service life period. Aging causes the asphalt material to stiffen and embrittle, which affects the durability and leads to a high potential for cracking. …”

The Permeable Character of CSG Dams and Their Seepage Fields by Xin Zhao, Yunlong He

“…Under the long-term action of water pressure, the seepage behavior of the dam body shows no obvious deterioration, suggesting that CSG can satisfy the required anticorrosion property expected of dam construction materials. Thus, abnormal CSG might serve as an effective antiseepage layer that can meet the running requirements of cofferdams. …”
