Abstract

Nanomaterials use in asphalt and concrete pavement infrastructure is gaining ground among researchers and scientists. In this chapter, an attempt is made to provide insight on nanomodification of transportation infrastructure, with the primary focus on asphalt binder systems. It further reveals ongoing work being conducted on the use of nanoclay materials to enhance the mechanical properties of the asphalt binder cement system. From the preparation of the nanoclaymodified asphalt binder to the SuperpaveTM characterization process, it has been proven that nanoclay materials holds great potential in the design and construction of sustainable and durable asphalt pavement infrastructure.
