Addition of Encapsulated Soybean Oil and Waste Cooking Oil in Asphalt Mixtures: Effects on Mechanical Properties and Self-Healing of Fatigue Damage
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Embedded encapsulated rejuvenators have been proven to enhance the crack-healing ability of asphalt. This healing mechanism is autonomous as it is triggered by the energy resulting from the axles’ passages on the road: an ...
Potential Uses of Sewage Sludge in Highway Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The sewage treatment plants generate, as by-products, large amounts of sludge containing harmful elements to the environment. This paper investigates the possibility of using 10% of sewage sludge by weight in pavement base ...
Use of Banana Fibers in SMA Mixtures
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt binder draindown is a potential issue related to stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures. One convenient approach for reducing binder drainage is the use of fibers as stabilizing additives. This study assesses the ...
Key Parameter for Swelling Control of Compacted Expansive Fine-Grained Soil–Lime Blends
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fine-grained soils that expand when in contact with water can be a major issue in some geotechnical situations, but the soil can be stabilized through chemical means by hydrated lime incorporation. However, there is not ...
Rheological Evaluation of Asphalt Binder 50/70 Incorporated with Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research intends to improve the durability of asphalt binder and its performance related to rutting and fatigue life. Nanotechnology has been used in many sectors over the years, such as the chemical industry, automotive ...
Enhancing Asphalt Pavement Durability: Evaluation of Encapsulated Soybean Sludge Rejuvenators for Self-Healing and Cracking Resistance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Self-healing of asphalt is a potential way to increase the service life of road surfaces. In the past, scientists have employed various methods to enhance the self-healing abilities of asphaltic materials. One of these ...
