Continuous research efforts have been developed in the literature to raise sustainability components of road infrastructure industry, i.e., reduce potential contaminants and augment financial profitability. In this regard, investigation aims explore feasibility producing Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) with inclusion Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a partial substitute for coarse Natural Aggregates ...

Over the past decade, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) focused research efforts on improving hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mix design to preclude rutting in the early life of pavements. However, these rut-resistant stiff mixtures may be susceptible to long-term fatigue cracking due to oxidative aging. This project completed initial development of an HMAC mixture fatigue design a...

Rutting of asphalt pavement occurs earlier and is more serious under the increasingly heavy traffic load conditions that can be found in subtropical monsoon climate regions. High modulus concrete (HMAC) with excellent anti-rutting anti-fatigue properties generally used to mitigate this issue. Given relatively high cost additives type asphalt, study feasibility using recycled mixture (RAP) Trini...

The rutting behavior of the red goral (Naemorhedus cranbrooki) was studied at the Breeding Center of Shanghai Zoo from September 16–November 21, 2004. Twenty-three qualitatively distinct behavior patterns was observed. Males showed a more extensive repertoire (18 patterns, 15 carried out only by males) than did females (10 patterns, 6 carried out only by females). Smelling and licking behavior ...
