Book Description
A study on uses of additives for improving asphaltic concrete for hydraulic construction showed that fine asbestos fibers (waste screenings) can be used advantageously. The increased compressive and tensile strength, stability, and erosion resistance properties gained with the fibers should provide a highly durable material capable of withstanding the major stresses that develop during service. Of the two rubberized asphalts tested, GRS and neoprene, it was indicated that the neoprene asphalt produced the better asphaltic concrete, particularly on the basis of stability and erosion resistance. Compared to the control, asbestos fibers, and rubberized asphalt mixes, the epoxy-asphalt concrete excelled in all physical properties determinations with the exception that flexibility was less than the rubberized asphalt mixes, and erosion resistance was comparable to the asbestos fiber mixes. The epoxy-asphalt concrete appears to be a very strong and tough material for hydraulic construction application; however, more data are required relative to its long-term weatherability. The relatively high cost of epoxy-asphalt approximately five times that of normal hot-mix, would restrict its use to special applications.

Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII
Author: A.F. NikolaidesPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351063251
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 735
Book Description
Highway engineers are facing the challenge not only to design and construct sustainable and safe pavements properly and economically. This implies a thorough understanding of materials behaviour, their appropriate use in the continuously changing environment, and implementation of constantly improved technologies and methodologies. Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII contains more than 100 contributions that were presented at the 7th International Conference ‘Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements’ (7ICONFBMP, Thessaloniki, Greece 12-14 June 2019). The papers cover a wide range of topics: - Bituminous binders - Aggregates, unbound layers and subgrade - Bituminous mixtures (Hot, Warm and Cold) - Pavements (Design, Construction, Maintenance, Sustainability, Energy and environment consideration) - Pavement management - Pavement recycling - Geosynthetics - Pavement assessment, surface characteristics and safety - Posters Bituminous Mixtures and Pavements VII reflects recent advances in highway materials technology and pavement engineering, and will be of interest to academics and professionals interested or involved in these areas.

Pages : 212
Book Description
Functional Pavement Design is a collections of 186 papers from 27 different countries, which were presented at the 4th Chinese-European Workshops (CEW) on Functional Pavement Design (Delft, the Netherlands, 29 June-1 July 2016). The focus of the CEW series is on field tests, laboratory test methods and advanced analysis techniques, and cover analysis, material development and production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. The main areas covered by the book include: - Flexible pavements - Pavement and bitumen - Pavement performance and LCCA - Pavement structures - Pavements and environment - Pavements and innovation - Rigid pavements - Safety - Traffic engineering Functional Pavement Design is for contributing to the establishment of a new generation of pavement design methodologies in which rational mechanics principles, advanced constitutive models and advanced material characterization techniques shall constitute the backbone of the design process. The book will be much of interest to professionals and academics in pavement engineering and related disciplines.
