the effect of the filler content and the different type of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polyethylene- date palm wood flour (dpwf) composite which are gathered from date palm tree annual pruning was studied. the different types of dpwf were stem, leaf and the mixture of stem and leaf. composites were made at 45, 60 and 75 % by weight filler contents. the particle size was 25-40 mes...

Fatigue characteristics of asphalt binder have an important role in asphalt mix resistance against cracking. Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (VECD) analysis of asphalt binders has been successfully used in highway research works in order to predict fatigue behavior of hot mix asphalt (HMA). In this method an intrinsic property of the material, called damage function is obtained which is independe...
