Overview

This book highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in bituminous materials and structures and asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the 2nd RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials (ISBM), held in Padua, Italy, on June 16-18, 2026. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning bituminous materials (bitumen, mastics, mixtures) and road, railway, and airport pavement structures, including: recycling, phase and interphase behavior, cracking and healing, modification and innovative materials, durability and environmental aspects, testing and modelling, multi-scale properties, surface characteristics, structure performance, modelling and design, non-destructive testing, back-analysis, and life cycle assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.
