Mechanical characteristics of Asphalt-Cement Concrete foundations (ACC).

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of the cement treated Cold-in-Place Recycled Asphalt Mixtures

Cold-in-place recycling (CIR) is an environmentally sustainable alternative for preservation of asphalt pavements. A major disadvantage of this practice is the lower strength of the cold-in-place mixtures. Addition of cement into this type of mixture is a method for increasing its bearing capacity. The effect of cement content on the mechanical properties of the cold-in-place recycled asphalt m...

Investigating the Effects of Nanoclay and Nylon Fibers on the Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Concrete

This paper describes the effects of reinforcement by randomly distributed nylon fibers and addition of nanoclay on some engineering properties of a typical asphalt concrete. The properties of asphalt concrete reinforced by different percentages of 25 mm nylon fibers have been compared with those of the mixtures containing different percentages of nanoclay and those in which both the fibers and ...

Effects of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on Properties of Asphalt Concrete

Characterisation of Asphalt Concrete Using Nanoindentation

In this study, nanoindentation was conducted to extract the load-displacement behaviour and the nanomechanical properties of asphalt concrete across the mastic, matrix, and aggregate phases. Further, the performance of hydrated lime as an additive was assessed across the three phases. The hydrated lime containing samples have greater resistance to deformation in the mastic and matrix phases, in...

Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Asphalt Concrete Containing Styrene Butadiene Styrene

This paper discusses the laboratory design of continuously graded asphaltic concrete mixtures containing styrene butadiene styrene (SBS). The purpose of this study is to evaluate mechanical properties of control and SBS modified asphalt mixtures. Furthermore rheological properties of conventional and modified asphalt in different SBS content were studied. AC-10 was used as binder in the study. ...
