RILEM 252-CMB Symposium on Chemo-mechanical characterization of Bituminous Materials

The RILEM TC 252-CMB international symposium aims to attract researchers and practitioners from different fields presenting the latest findings in the characterization of bituminous materials chemically, mechanically, and microstructurally. Papers on new and cutting edge, innovative techniques for the characterization of bituminous materials gaining new insights into current issues such as aging, moisture, and temperature are sought. The area of research is not limited to application in road pavements; contributions from other areas of bituminous materials are welcome.

Conference Topics
o Bitumen aging mechanisms and characterization
o Chemo-mechanical coupling
o Low, intermediate and high temperature behavior
o Microstructure and micro-mechanics
o Thermal properties
o Recycling and rejuvenation
o Nanotechnology for bituminous materials
o Multiphase analysis of binders
