the purpose of this research was to evaluate the application of recycled aggregates of constructiondebris such as concrete, cement block and rubbles from pars-kangan site in asphalt concrete mix design. toevaluate the performance of aggregates different mix designs with recycled aggregate percentages of 0, 10,30, 50 and bitumen percentages of 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, and 6.5 were provided and two mar...

Background In the early 1970s, due to concern over asphalt cement supply issues and an anticipated over abundance of elemental sulfur, many organizations Société Nationale des Pétroles d’Aquitaine (SNPA), Gulf Oil of Canada, Sulfur Development Institute of Canada (SUDIC), Texas Chemical Company, U.S. Bureau of Mines, and the Texas Transportation Institute) began to evaluate the potential for su...

Conductive asphalt concrete with high thermal conductivity has been proposed to improve the solar energy collection and snow melting efficiencies of asphalt solar collector (ASC). This paper aims to provide some insight into choosing the basic materials for preparation of conductive asphalt concrete, as well as determining the evolution of thermal characteristics affected by environmental facto...

rutting in asphalt concrete is a very common form of distress in asphalt concrete pavement which unfortunately has been incurable to date. one of the prime reasons of rutting is attributed to the behaviour of asphalt binder at elevated temperature. this study has investigated the performance of polypropylene fibres modified asphalt concrete mix against rutting. two types of asphalt concrete sam...

Concrete track slab and asphalt trackbed are being introduced in Korea for providing good bearing capacity, durability to the track and comfortable rideness to passengers. Such a railway system has been designed by the train load so as to ensure stability. But there is lack of research and design for temperature changes which influence the behavior characteristics of concrete and asphalt. There...

an experimental program was conducted to determine the effects of geosynthetic reinforcement on mitigating reflection cracking in asphalt overlays. the objectives of this study were to asses the effects of geosynthetics inclusion and its placement location on the accumulation of permanent deformation. to simulate an asphalt pavement overlaid on top of a crack in a concrete or asphalt pavement, ...

With the strengthened regulation on the mandatory use of recycled aggregate, development of construction materials using recycled aggregate has recently increased. This study aimed to secure the performance of asphalt concrete mixture by developing recycled-modified asphalt using recycled basalt aggregate from the Jeju area. The strength of the basalt aggregate from the Jeju area used in this s...

The behaviour of an asphalt concrete structure subjected to severe loading, such as blast and impact loadings, is becoming critical for safety and anti-terrorist reasons. With the development of high-speed computational capabilities, it is possible to carry out the numerical simulation of an asphalt concrete structure subjected to blast or impact loading. In the simulation, the constitutive mod...

The stability of asphalt concrete under the effects of freezing and thawing was studied experimentally, and the experimental test results were modelled using fuzzy logic and statistical methods. The stability was investigated experimentally using the Marshall and ultrasound methods. Asphalt core samples 10 cm in diameter were alternately frozen (–20°C for 16 hr) and thawed (16°C for 8 hr) for 5...
