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. research aimed determine optimal layer thickness bituminous-latex be applied and achieve maximum interlayer adhesion between base. After full-scale experiments, required was 2 mm. With ...

with advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...

Bituminous materials are playing a vital role in pavement design and the roofing industry because of outstanding properties. Unfortunately, bituminous materials will release volatile organic compounds (VOC), making them non-environmentally friendly. Therefore, technologies that can be used to decrease the VOC emission are urgently required. In this research, the VOC emission and material behavi...

In anticipation of the introduction of high modulus materials in the Swiss standards, a research project has been carried out for the evaluation of these bituminous mixtures. Three full-size test sections were built in a test hall for ALT named Halle-fosse: Two sections with two different high modulus bituminous mixtures (named EME, abbreviation of the French designation of the mixture: Enrobé ...

one of the important factors influencing outdoor insulators performance is pollution phenomenon. the pollution, especially during humidity condition, reduces superficial resistance of insulator and lead to a flow of leakage currents (lc) on the insulator surface, which may result in total flashover. the lc characteristics are affected by parameters such as nature and severity of pollution. loca...

The effect of demineralization on Indian bituminous coal by filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger has been investigated. X-ray diffraction profile reveals the presence of inorganic components in the sample. Biosolubilised products were characterized by FT-IR, SEM-EDS and XRD. The study reveals that coal consist of a semi-crystalline turbostratic structure. The broad diffraction peak at 20~25.5 a...

annually, a lot of imported heat insulator concretes, are used for which a considerable amount of exchange expenses are allocated. most kinds of these insulator concretes are imported during foundation and installation of the factories accompanied by primary facilities and supplies. even, after a short time the factories began to work, whenever the walls of the insulators are required to be cha...

IN T R O D U C T IO N The major material utilized in the construction of the roads, streets and highways of this country is asphalt. Of the nation’s 3.84 million miles of roads, 1.86 million are paved, hard-surfaced structures. 1.74 million or 94% of these paved roads are constructed of asphalt (Fig. 1). Likewise, within the state of Indiana, 83% or about 9300 miles of the 11,200 miles under th...

The bituminous pavement rehabilitation alternatives are mainly overlaying, recycling and reconstruction. In the recycling process the material from deteriorated pavement, known as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), is partially or fully reused in fresh construction. Some of the advantages associated with pavement recycling are (i) less user delay (ii) conservation of energy (iii) preservation of...
