Performance Improvement of Asphalt Concretes Using Steel Slag as a Replacement Material
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The increased proportion of traffic volumes on roads is often the cause of distress to the pavement structure. The use of strong and durable steel slag (S) as an aggregate material in asphalt concrete can enhance the ...
Performance and Toxic Leaching Evaluation of Dense-Graded Asphalt Concrete Using Steel Slag as Aggregate
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The comparative performance between steel slag (S) and limestone (L) as aggregates in dense-graded asphalt concretes were investigated in this research. The performance tests for fatigue cracking were undertaken using ...
Mechanical Performance of Porous Asphalt Concrete Incorporating Bottom Ash as Fine Aggregate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Porous asphalt concrete (PAC) is an open-graded asphalt concrete with a high air void, which functions as permeable pavement with high surface frictional resistance. PAC typically requires a high amount of coarse aggregate ...
Natural Rubber Latex–Modified Concrete Pavements: Evaluation and Design Approach
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Repetitive loads result in increased irrecoverable strain and, consequently, fatigue cracking failure. Fatigue resistance is the prime factor controlling the service life of the concrete pavements. This research study ...
Mechanistic Performance of Hybrid Asphalt Concretes with Recycled Aggregates and Hemp Fiber for Low Traffic Roads
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in road infrastructure construction projects contributes significantly to the sustainable reduction of solid wastes being landfilled. ...
Influence Factors Involving Rainfall-Induced Shallow Slope Failure: Numerical Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Assessment of rainfall-induced shallow slope failures is important for reducing damage to infrastructures as well as for the safety of people living close to hazardous areas. The rainfall intensity-duration thresholds for ...
Water-Void to Cement Ratio Identity of Lightweight Cellular-Cemented Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lightweight cellular cemented clays have wide range of applications in the infrastructure rehabilitation and in the construction of new facilities. Since the inception of this method, the developments in the plant and ...
Improvement of Tensile Properties of Cement-Stabilized Soil Using Natural Rubber Latex
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Unpaved cement-stabilized roads are commonly used for vehicular transportation in the rural areas of developed and developing countries. The high cement content of such roads, however, reduces the tensile fatigue life, ...
Mechanistic Performance and Distress Model of Bottom Ash Modified Porous Asphalt Concretes with Various Thailand Aggregates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The porous structure in the porous asphalt concrete (PAC) mixture is achieved by incorporating a substantial amount of coarse aggregate and polymer-modified asphalt binder (PMA). Bottom ash (BA) was used to modify the ...
Improved Performance of Natural Rubber Latex–Modified Asphalt Concretes with Various Types of Aggregates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The influence of aggregate properties and natural rubber latex (NRL) additive on the performance of natural rubber modified asphalt (NRMA) concrete mixtures was investigated. The NRMA mixtures were prepared using three ...
