Abstract: Construction in Saudi Arabia, emanating from rapid development, has caused massive depletion of scarce construction resources. Crushed limestone and sandstone aggregates used in bituminous mixes lack the desirable qualities ...

Abstract: Temperature is known to be one of the most important factors affecting the design and performance of asphaltic concrete pavement. For a successful pavement design, it is vital to know the range of temperatures over which ...

Abstract: This investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using hedmanite (rockwool natural fibers) as filler in improving the performance of asphalt concrete pavements, and to compare hedmanite with lime (as ...

Abstract: Thermoplastic recycled polystyrene (rPS) and polypropylene (rPP) bounded concretes were formulated by thermal curing. Mechanical properties, thermal crack-healing efficiency, and moisture and temperature susceptibility of ...

Abstract: Asphalt cement is a rheological material because its deformation characteristics vary not only with load but also with rate of load application. The chemical composition of asphalt cement affects its behavior. One of the ...

Abstract: Asphalt binders and concretes modified with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber, styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), and the combination of PAN-SBS were prepared and studied. Both frequency and temperature sweep tests for the binder ...

Abstract: Plastic waste (PW) has long been identified among the direct and indirect primary sources of environmental pollution. Currently, global PW generation is more than 300 million tons annually and is increasing at a rate ...

Abstract: Asphalt binders and concretes modified with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber, styrene butadiene styrene (SBS), and the combination of PAN-SBS were prepared and studied. Both frequency and temperature sweep tests for the binder ...
