Asphalt pavements maintenance is a critical infrastructure issue. This paper reports on a high thermal conductivity asphalt pavement mastic and mixture. Thermal asphalt mortar (ThAM) produced with asphalt, silicon-carbide (SiC) powder in the presence, and absence, of styrene-butadiene styrene (SBS), was evaluated. Optimal SBS and SiC proportions were determined by optimization and the balance of viscosity, ductility, and temperature stability. The results indicated that SBS and SiC optimum contents were 5% and 10%, respectively. The correspondi...
