Implication of Aggregates in the Frictional Performance of Seal Coat Overlays
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Historically, research has shown that it is neither physically possible nor economically feasible to construct an asphalt concrete pavement surface that provides skid resistance at an adequate level throughout the pavement's service life. Consequently, engineers utilize a seal coat maintenance technique as one way of improving friction performance on roadways. This maintenance technique consists of applying asphalt to a roadway surface followed by an overlay of cover aggregates.

متن کاملAn Investigation on In-situ Strength and Bonding Strength of Polymer Modified Concretes (PMC) as Repair Overlays on Conventional Concrete Substrate
Polymer modified concrete (PMC) consists of Portland cement concrete with a polymer modifier. Its advantages are proper bonding strength to substrate concrete, high tensile and flexural strength and low amount of shrinkage and permeability. Using PMC overlays can be considered as a method for preservation of damaged concrete structures due to their suitable performance and durability. In this r...
متن کاملInfluence of Surface Texture on Friction Properties of Mechanical Seals for Blood -Design Concept of Sealing Surface of Mechanical Seal for Ventricular Assist Device-
Low, stable friction, a higher load-carrying capacity, and lower leakage of sealed blood are required for mechanical seals in implantable ventricular assist devices. One solution is to apply surface texture to the mechanical seal surface, consisting of self-mated silicon carbide. However, the effect of surface texture on the frictional properties of mechanical seals under blood sealing conditio...

The present paper investigates the effects of the trapezoidal teeth labyrinth seal on the leakage amount in gas turbines. The influences of increasing the number of teeth from 1 to 6 with step 1 and the tip clearance s=0.5 to 7.5 mm on the leakage flow at different pressure ratios of PR=1.5, 2 and 2.5 are examined, comprehensively. The analysis is performed numerically using a Finite-Volume...
متن کاملAn Investigation on the Effects of Aggregates Properties on the Performance of Unbound Aggregate Base Layer
Unbound aggregates are the most common type of materials used for construction of the base layer of flexible pavements in Iran and worldwide. Due to the lack of binder, the performance of the compacted unbound aggregates is highly dependent on the properties of the gravel (particles remaining on sieve 4.75mm, sand (particles passing sieve 4.75mm and remaining on sieve 0....
