Development of Non-Petroleum-Based Binders for Use in Flexible Pavements – Phase II tech transfer summary
نویسنده
چکیده
The substantial increase in oil prices over the past few years has been reflected in asphalt prices. Moreover, the maximization of fuel production in refineries has reduced asphalt supply. These conditions have prompted the development of alternative sources of asphalt binders, including bio-oils derived from the fractionated fast pyrolysis of biomass that comes from agricultural and forestry residues, e.g., oakwood, switchgrass, and cornstover.

Development of Non-Petroleum Based Binders for Use in Flexible Pavements
Most bituminous adhesives or binders that are used for pavement materials are derived primarily from fossil fuels. With petroleum oil reserves becoming depleted and the drive to establish a bio-based economy, there is a push to produce binders from alternative sources, particularly from biorenewable resources. However, until now, no research has studied the applicability of utilizing bio-oils a...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Wireless MEMS Multifunction Sensor System and Field Demonstration of Embedded Sensors for Monitoring Concrete Pavements tech transfer summary
Pavement tends to deteriorate with time under repeated traffic and environmental loading. The structural health monitoring (SHM) concept can be applied as a systematic method for assessing the structural state of pavement infrastructure systems and documenting their conditions. SHM can be useful for civil infrastructure in saving both money and time by turning schedule-based maintenance into co...

متن کاملElasto-Plastic Finite Element Evaluation of Flexible Pavements Based on Shakedown Concept
In this paper, three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analysis was performed on flexible pavements under vertical repeated traffic loads to evaluate their shakedown behavior. Six different pavements with different structural number (SN) were modeled and subjected to a wide range of cyclic vehicle loads. Shakedown limits were obtained considering both failure and serviceability restrain...
