RISEffectiveness of Phase Change Material for Cooling of Photovoltaic Panel for Hot Climate
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Phase change materials (PCMs) are investigated in this study as an option to reduce the surface temperature of the photovoltaic (PV) cell during sunshine hours to enhance the electrical efficiency of the cells. For this ...
Durability Evaluation of Single-Component Polyurethane-Bonded Porous Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Pavement service and antiaging performance of single-component polyurethane-bonded porous mixtures (PPMs) were studied. The influence of the adhesive–aggregate ratio on PPM volumetric properties and pavement service ...
PV-Trombe Wall Design for Buildings in Composite Climates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The design of the novel PV-Trombe wall in Hefei is theoretically processed in this paper. The area of winter air vents and width of PV-Trombe wall are determined, the effects of two improvements ...
Compaction Characteristics of Single-Component Polyurethane Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To investigate the compaction characteristics of a single-component polyurethane (PU) mixture with dense gradation, the effects of temperature, humidity, catalyst content, and standing time on the compaction energy index ...
Early Strength of Cold Recycled Emulsified Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In order to study the influence of different factors on the early strength of the cold recycled emulsified asphalt mixtures, 16 different types of cold recycled mixtures were designed and produced, which were combined with ...
Evaluation on the Crack Resistance of Cement-Stabilized Macadam Mixture with Crack-Resistant Interlocking Gap Gradation and Rubber Powder
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigates the use of an interlocking gap gradation and rubber powder to improve the crack resistance of a cement-stabilized macadam (CSM) mixture. First, a crack-resistant interlocking gap gradation was ...
Assessing the Potential for Sustainable Cold-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Based on Crumb-Rubberized Asphalt Binder
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Crumb-rubberized asphalt (CRA) binder has been widely used for several decades because it provides a nonhazardous disposal method for scrap tires and it improves some engineering properties of asphalt pavement. The energy ...
Improvement of Water Stability of Macroporous Polyurethane Mixture
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This study examined a method to improve the water stability of macroporous polyurethane mixtures. Poor water stability of these mixtures has become an obstacle to their popularization and practical application. The water ...
Effectiveness of Vegetable Oils as Rejuvenators for Aged Asphalt Binders
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Rheological Properties of Modified Coal Tar Pitches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Different modifiers composed of polyethylene glycol, paraformaldehyde, polystyrene, and polyphosphoric acid at different ratios (designated CD-0, CD-1, CD-2. CD-3, and CD-4) were added to coal tar pitch. The resulting ...
