The article reviews the option of how to make top pavement asphalt-concrete mixture adhere reliably base, which is underlying cement-concrete coating. bitumen-latex emulsion suggested as a binder for two layers.

The asphalt paver must fulfill a set of basic requirements, from sufficient bearing capacity for the expected loads, stability and good resistance to deformations resulting passage large loads at high temperatures, also securing an impermeable surface that achieves adequate drainage water. Hence, it is necessary search permanently continuously improved materials are resistant influence factors ...

This study has investigated the creep properties of asphaltic concrete modified with different dosages of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in two different ranges of size. Uniaxial dynamic creep test at 40°C was conducted on the cylindrical specimens of the mixtures. The load was applied in two different frequencies of 0.5 and 5Hz. Creep test results showed that the accumulated strain und...

The Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been studied for a long time as a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technology for inspection of concrete structures. Currently, the most widely used technique for interpreting GPR data of concrete bridge decks is the one that based on the amplitudes measured at various interfaces such as asphalt-concrete, top rebar, or slab bottom. The assumption behind th...

In this thesis, nondestructive surface wave measurements are presented for characterization of dynamic modulus and layer thickness on different pavements and cement concrete slabs. Air-coupled microphones enable rapid data acquisition without physical contact with the pavement surface. Quality control of asphalt concrete pavements is crucial to verify the specified properties and to prevent pre...

This research deals with the study and modification of the initial process used by the General Electric Silicones plant to produce a useful material from the hazardous waste it generates. The generation and treatment of the waste is given in a brief overview. Samples taken at various stages in the industrial process were characterized by chemical and physical analyses. Results showed that amorp...
