Stability properties of asphalt mixture incorporating coconut shell

Internal Structure Features of Asphalt Mixture for Field Samples

Asphalt mixture is heterogeneous in nature; therefore, macroscopic parameters alone cannot describe the mechanical behavior of the mixture. In recent years, the arrangement of the aggregate particles in terms of spatial and directional distributions, and contact points are considered as the internal structure of asphalt. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the microstructural chara...

Synthesis and Properties of a Clean and Sustainable Deicing Additive for Asphalt Mixture

A clean and sustainable deicing additive was prepared via the adsorption of acetate anions (Ac-) by magnesium (Mg) and aluminum (Al) calcined layered double hydroxide (Mg/Al-CLDH). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrums proved that Ac- had intercalated into LDH structure. X-ray diffraction patterns, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed that ...

Water Absorption and Compressive Properties of Coconut Shell Particle Reinforced-Epoxy Composite

The Aim of present investigations is to evaluate the physical property-water absorptions and mechanical property-compressive properties. Coconut particle reinforced composites were fabricated by reinforcing shell particle (size between 200-800μm) by wt% of 20, 25, 30 & 35 into epoxy matrix. Composites plates were made by casting in open mould. That is possible with very low cost and easy way. E...
