Due to the limited influence on traffic, orthotropic steel deck has been more and more widely used. However, the durability of steel deck asphalt pavement is a critical technical issue in the construction of bridges. At the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) bus station, rutting, swelling and several ot...
Environmental analysis of using recycled asphalt shingles in pavement applications. Recycled asphalt shingles have been used in paving applications for more than two decades and have growing acceptance in the industry. The cost of asphalt ... J Austin 被引量: 14发表: 2011年 Chapter 16 - The Us...
The research has been conducted to test the asphalt produced in Latvia using local mineral materials and local recycled modifiers (fiberglass, crumb rubber), as well as the recycled asphalt used in the production of highmodulus asphalt mix, which will meet the local Latvi...
There has been interest in modifying asphalt with polyethylene materials, which are a major plastic waste substance, especially low-density polyethylene (LDPE). In this study, combinations of three low molecular weight polyethylene (PE) wax materials and three recycled LDPE materials were used as asp...
An asphalt pavement structure is made up of multiple layers. Conventionally, soil, granular material, asphalt binder are used for construction of asphalt pavements. Various other admixtures are also used. Economical, environmental, social and safety issues call for use of innovations in road constructi...
It is these properties that make asphalt such a useful material. Most asphalts of commerce essentially are residua of crude oil distillation. Early in the studies of asphalts and residua, it became clear that simple global variables such as elemental composition cannot explain the unique ...
This book was prepared as a textbook to assist the college professor in providing technical information on Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) to engineering students. It covers most topics important to those who plan to work in the HMA industry and can be used for teaching undergraduate as well as graduate...
Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the physiochemical characterisation and analysis of asphalt materials. Part Two reviews the range of distress (damage) mechanisms in asphalt materials, with chapt...
Thus, the infrastructure field, in this case road infrastructure, also has to contribute its part by generating road materials and road construction with lower environmental impacts. This paper analyzes the environmental potentials hidden in road materials used in Swiss road pavements. For several ...
Furthermore, the healing of cracks in the presence of this type of capsule has been tested for bitumen only, not for asphalt mixture [24]. The other type of capsules are either of a porous sand core [25] or polymeric [26]. The healing agent used in this type of capsule is sunflower...
