in Italian) Abstract (in English)

The environmental impacts of producing asphalt mixtures with different percentages of asphalt binder replacement (ABR) are assessed using the technique of life cycle assessment (LCA). In this paper, only the material production phase of the pavement life cycle is considered. To improve the quality of the LCA, a regionalized life cycle inventory (LCI) database for the Northern Illinois region is...

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction , operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure.

Class C fly ash is a coal combustion product normally produced from lignite or subbituminous coal obtained as a result of the power generation process. In recent years, efforts were taken to incorporate self-cementing fly ash into full-depth reclaimed (FDR) asphalt pavements to improve the structural capacity of asphalt pavement base layers. In this study, an existing asphalt pavement in County...

Abstract This recommendation is based on the results of an inter-laboratory study organised by RILEM technical committee TC 264-RAP "Asphalt Pavement Recycling"—Task Group 3 (TG3) focusing Asphalt Binder for Recycled Mixture. The TG3 aimed to evaluate effect a specific family materials known as asphalt recycling agent (ARA) aged binder under different configurations. Even though ageing irrevers...

This work aims to improve the rutting and fatigue cracking resistance of asphalt binders using selected nanoor micro-sized materials and to shed light on the microstructure changes induced by such modification to asphalt binders. The four modifiers (Nanomer I.44P, carbon microfiber, non-modified nanoclay and polymer modified nanoclay) were added into the control asphalt binder (PG 58-34). The S...

This study analyses the possibilities of using up to 30% reclaimed asphalt pavement as a substitute material for natural aggregate, along with fly ash replacing 20% or 40% Portland cement in stabilizations 4% and 6% binder. The Proctor test was used determine maximum dry density optimal moisture content cement-based stabilizations. compressive strength tested after 7, 28, 90 days. Parameters in...
