The first section delves into complex and combined binders, unravelling intricate phenomena and shedding light on the unique challenges posed by these materials. Through meticulous cross-testing, the fundamental physical processes are better understood. The second section addresses the low-temperature performance of bituminous mixtures, exploring important behaviour regarding the longevity and resilience of bituminous pavements. The use of innovative methodologies, particularly the restrained shrinkage test exploited using a three-dimensional perspective, enriches the understanding regarding the mechanical behaviour at cold temperatures. The third section delves into dynamic interlayer shear testing, providing a comprehensive guide to evaluate the bonding behaviour of bituminous interlayers under cyclic loadings.
