Use of recycled asphalt pavements (RA) in pavement rehabilitation processes is continuously growing as recycling techniques, such as cold recycling (CR), are being utilized in increasing magnitude. The focus of this paper is on developing a state of the art and state of the practice summary of processes used for classification of RA. A variety of topics were explored through an exhaustive liter...

Conventional hot mix plants operate to support large paving projects, making production more economic with high volume output. When repairs and maintenance are needed, it can be challenging maintain small quantities of bituminous mixtures at a sufficient temperature, especially in the case winter maintenance. Consequently, repair materials cannot compacted desired level on some occasions. This ...

Forms of selenium in bituminous coal, anthracite, and cokeite (natural coke) from Huaibei Coalfield, Anhui, China, have been determined by sequential solvent extraction. The selenium content in bulk samples is 4.0, 2.4, and 2.0 microg/g in bituminous coal, anthracite, and cokeite, respectively. The six forms of selenium determined by six-step solvent extraction are water-leachable, ion-exchange...

This paper introduces the semi-analytical and nite element models implemented to study a Falling Weight De ectometer test conducted on a exible pavement. These dynamic models take into account the e ects of both Rayleigh damping in soil and viscous damping in bituminous materials, with respect to temperature, on structural de ection. Moreover, numerical results have been compared with in situ m...

This paper presents results of investigation the possibility of replacing the mineral filler with fly ash from power plant “Gacko” in the bituminous aggregate mixture BNS 22A. The most important physical-mechanical properties of bituminous aggregate mixture with fly ash from power plant “Gacko” used as filler were investigated. Based on the results obtained it was concluded that fly ash from po...

Rutting is one of the most important distresses in asphalt pavements due to its frequency. Rutting or channeling, could be classified in three types: 1) mechanical deformation (rutting in subgrade or base), 2) plastic flow (unstable asphalt layer), and 3) wheel path consolidation. The plastic flow of bituminous mixture depends on many factors; one of this is the type of asphalt used in the mixt...
