Preface Mech Time-Depend Mater (2016) 20:263 DOI 10.1007/s11043-016-9307-y Special Issue on “Time-dependent behaviour of bituminous materials” Received: 25 February 2016 / Accepted: 3 March 2016 / Published online: 29 March 2016 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016 Bituminous materials, being one of the largest components of road and airport pavements, are subjected to various loading time-histories due to irregular traffic (i.e. rate of loading, loading time, rest period) under extremely variable climatic conditions (i.e. temperature, aging, moisture). Increasing mobility demand and consequent need for infrastructure maintenance and re- habilitation are leading to a challenging use of innovative high-performance materials for bituminous pavements, at the same time taking care of environmental concerns in search of more sustainable infrastructures. Bituminous materials are complex multi-phase bodies and, as such, thermo-viscoelas- ticity and fracture mechanics can be successfully adopted at nano-, micro- and meso-scale, in order to find a rational approach for their appropriate and reliable application within the pavement network. This Special Issue, including a collection of papers written by leading experts in the field, is aimed at contributing to an improved understanding of the time-dependent mechan- ical response of bituminous materials in pavement engineering. The main topics include bituminous binders’ rheology as http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials Springer Journals
