IMPROVING RUTTING RESISTANCE OF HOT MIX ASPHALT BY DATES KERNEL POWDER

Hot Mix Asphalt Dynamic Modulus Prediction Using Kernel Machines

This paper explores the feasibility of applying support vector regression (SVR) kernel-based supervised learning method to develop hot mix asphalt (HMA) dynamic modulus (|E*|) predictive models. SVR-based prediction models were developed using the latest comprehensive |E*| database that is available to the researchers. The SVR model predictions were compared with the existing regression-based p...

Impact of Aggregate Gradation and Type on Hot Mix Asphalt Rutting In Egypt

Rutting of flexible pavement is considered one of the major pavement distresses noted around the world and in Egypt. Many investigators showed at about 55 to 80% of rutting occurred in the surface layer. Rutting of asphalt surface layer may be due to many causes happened during construction phase and service phase. The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the impact of aggregate gra...

Infrared Thermography Revolutionizes Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surfaces comprise about 90% of the highways and roads in the U.S. Highways and are typically engineered to last 15 years or more, but many have been failing early due to potholes, cracks, raveling, and other problems. This premature road failure unnecessarily wastes millions of taxpayer dollars every year. This paper describes a series of research studies that were conduct...

Engineering characterisation of epoxidized natural rubber-modified hot-mix asphalt

Road distress results in high maintenance costs. However, increased understandings of asphalt behaviour and properties coupled with technological developments have allowed paving technologists to examine the benefits of introducing additives and modifiers. As a result, polymers have become extremely popular as modifiers to improve the performance of the asphalt mix. This study investigates the ...
