Improved Modeling of Subaerial and Subaqueous Muddy Debris Flows
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this note, a two-dimensional depth-averaged numerical model (MassFlow2D) previously developed to simulate subaerial and subaqueous muddy debris flows is further improved. The retarding effects of ambient fluid, including ...
Skeleton Filling System Evaluation Method of Asphalt Mixture Based on Compressible Packing Model
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt mixtures are composed of skeleton aggregate and filling mortar. Skeleton stability and mortar filling state are of great significance to asphalt mixture performance. First, the aggregate in asphalt mixture is ...
Atomic-Level Insights into the Mechanisms of Reinforcement and Fracture in a Graphene-Reinforced Bitumen Composite
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Graphene can significantly improve the mechanical performance and durability of a bitumen composite. However, the underlying reinforcement mechanism of this enhancement is not yet clear. Here, we use molecular dynamics ...
Investigation of the Hydraulic Properties of Pervious Pavement Mixtures: Characterization of Darcy and Non-Darcy Flow Based on Pore Microstructures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The significance of water flow behavior as one of the main properties of pervious pavements has long been recognized. However, the quantification of flow characteristics and the relationship to complex pore microstructures ...
Evaluation of Polishing Behavior of Fine Aggregates Using an Accelerated Polishing Machine with Real Tires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The long-term durability of both coarse and fine aggregate significantly affects the mechanical performance of asphalt pavements. Extensive investigations of aggregate durability have been conducted on coarse aggregate in ...
Evaluation of Polishing Behavior of Fine Aggregates Using an Accelerated Polishing Machine with Real Tires
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The long-term durability of both coarse and fine aggregate significantly affects the mechanical performance of asphalt pavements. Extensive investigations of aggregate durability have been conducted on coarse aggregate in ...
Use of Polyurethane Precursor–Based Modifier as an Eco-Friendly Approach to Improve Performance of Asphalt
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: With the rapid growth of traffic demands, the use of liquid chemical material instead of traditional modifier to prepare high-performance modified asphalt demonstrates dual values in environmental protection and performance ...
Effects of Bitumen Origins and Filler Types on the Micromechanics Prediction of Complex Modulus of Asphalt Mastics Considering Interparticle Interactions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt mastic is a binary composite in which the bitumen matrix is embedded with filler particles. By taking interparticle interactions and the effects of bitumen origins and filler types into account, this research seeks ...
Dynamic Response of Fully Permeable Pavements: Development of Pore Pressures under Different Modes of Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Permeable pavements are widely recognized as an effective way to improve the environmental and ecological aspects of conventional dense pavements. Based on traditional pavement materials, permeable pavements are often ...
Molecular Insights into the Adsorption Configuration of Bitumen Colloidal on Aggregate Surface
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The interaction between bitumen colloidal and mineral aggregate is complicated owing to an intricate interplay of bitumen chemistry, aggregate mineralogy, and surface topography. Identifying the adsorption configuration ...
