About Vince Aurilio

Vince Aurilio, P.Eng. is currently the senior technical director of Sripath Technologies, providing technical support across the Sripath Group of Companies to customers and partners worldwide.

With over 40 years of experience as a licensed professional engineer and as an expert in pavement design and materials engineering, Vince Aurilio brings critical expertise and knowledge of industry best practices and trends to every client and project. This includes experience spanning paving solutions for roadways and airports for both private and public transportation.

Aurilio has extensive experience in materials spanning hot mix and warm mix asphalt design and testing, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mix design, and stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mix design. He is an advocate of balanced mix design (BMD), which seeks to improve pavement performance through consideration of asphalt mix performance properties rather than relying solely on the characteristics of the binder to meet specifications.

Aurilio is also knowledgeable in geotechnical investigation, non-destructive deflection testing (FWD), in-place pavement recycling and full depth reclamation, asphalt performance testing, pavement evaluations, forensic studies, and life cycle cost analysis.

In addition to his work with Sripath, Aurilio is the owner and president of VA Asphalt Pavement Technologies, an independent engineering firm specializing in asphalt materials, pavement design, asphalt mix design, construction QC/QA, forensic evaluations, and training. Aurilio is consulted by global experts and has authored or coauthored over 30 peer-reviewed papers. He is also a sought-after presenter for keynotes focused on paving materials and design.

Aurilio holds a number of affiliations including with the Transportation Research Board, Transportation Association of Canada, and Canadian Asphalt Technical Association, among others. He also held the position of executive director for the Ontario Asphalt Pavement Council (a council of ORBA) from 2015-2019. Based in Ontario, Canada, he has been a licensed member of Professional Engineers Ontario since 1985.

Testing High-RAP Mixes with Asphalt Rejuvenators

The use of reclaimed asphalt and recycled asphalt materials is becoming increasingly widespread. High-RAP mixtures, or those defined as those containing more than 25% RAP by total mix weight, can offer significant environmental and economic benefits by reducing reliance on virgin aggregates and binder. However, increasing RAP content can introduce performance challenges. The aged binder in RAP is typically stiff and brittle, which can negatively impact cracking resistance and long-term durability. [...]

How Asphalt Crosslinking Impacts Long-Term Fatigue and Cracking Resistance

Asphalt pavements are subjected to a complex combination of mechanical stresses, environmental conditions, and temperature fluctuations throughout their service life. Fatigue cracking and surface deterioration are common challenges that can significantly reduce pavement lifespan and increase maintenance costs. One of the most effective strategies to combat these issues is PMB asphalt crosslinking, a process that enhances binder elasticity, cohesion, and resistance to micro-crack [...]

How Water Affects Asphalt Sustainability and Durability: From Pavement Performance to Energy Use

Water is one of the most persistent and underestimated forces acting on asphalt roadways. While traffic, climate, and materials all influence pavement performance, moisture often determines how long a surface lasts and how sustainable it truly is. Factors such as how water interacts with asphalt binder and aggregate and the hidden energy costs of removing moisture from aggregate or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) piles are just the start of how water [...]
