in recent decades, economic development and population growth in the world has led to the expansion of road networks. therefore the use of optimum methods for repairing and maintenance of these roads is considered as an important value. today one of the options in this regard, is the use of asphalt recycling technology. the present study which took place in the summer of 2015 in iran, lorestan ...

Over the years, there is a growing trend towards quality-based specifications in highway construction. In many Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) specifications, the contractor is primarily responsible for quality control of the process, whereas the highway agency is responsible for testing the acceptance of the product. A cooperative investigation was conducted in Illinois over several ...

Asphalt pavement itself is a mixture made up of mainly aggregates, binders, and fillers that acts as a composition used for pavement construction. An experimental program was setup to determine the fatigue performance test of Asphalt with three different grades of conventional binders. Asphalt specimen has achieved the maximum optimum bulk density and air voids with a consistent bulk density of...

Conventional asphalt binder derived from the petroleum refining process is widely used in pavement engineering. However, asphalt binder is a non-renewable material. Therefore, the use of a co-production of renewable bio-oil as a modifier for petroleum asphalt has recently been getting more attention in the pavement field due to its renewability and its optimization for conventional petroleum-ba...

Modelling the service life for asphalt pavements is widely made with base on empirical methods, developed half-century ago, with poor results. The new reality of the XXI century, with high construction costs, environmental restrictions and growing volumes of vehicles in the highways, enforce the shift to a new level of quality and accuracy to predict the service life of the pavements. This pape...

External pressures applied to a saturated pavement pore structure are often dynamic due to the repeated tire loading. Therefore, a dynamic permeability constant is more realistic representation of the response of a pavement pore structure than the Darcy’s permeability. To investigate the unsteady (dynamic) fluid flow in asphalt pavements, a 3D fluid flow model was developed using the lattice Bo...

The permafrost degradation is the fundamental cause generating embankment diseases and pavement diseases in permafrost region while the permafrost degradation is related with temperature. Based on the field monitoring results of ground temperature along G214 Highway in high temperature permafrost regions, both the ground temperatures in superficial layer and the annual average temperatures unde...

The photodegradation behavior of a straight asphalt was investigated using a new method “photodegradation test of asphalt binder using pressed thin film samples”. Although the photodegradation caused by outdoor exposure is limited to the near surface, the results confirmed that the degree of degradation during 1 to 2 months is more severe than that by the pressure aging vessel (PAV) test, which...

Reliable and durable asphalt surfacing systems still remain to be desired for the long-spanned orthotropic steel bridges as the nationally and internationally reports on distresses in deck pavement. Based on ten-year research works, this paper has presented a brief review and discussion of the Chinese practices and experiences of deck pavement on long-spanned steel bridges, including issues of ...
