Shedding Light on the Rejuvenation Mechanism of Reactive Compounds in Aged SBS-Modified Asphalt through Molecular Dynamics and Quantum Chemical Simulations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to address the problem of reconstructing damaged styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) molecular structures in order to facilitate the effective recycling of aged SBS-modified asphalt (SBSMA). ...
Three-Dimensional Mesomechanical Complex Modulus Prediction for Asphalt Mortar Considering Conjunctive Shell Mechanism of Interface Transition Zones and Properties of Coarse Mastic
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Asphalt mortar is a mixture of asphalt mastic and fine aggregates (<2.36 mm) in asphalt concrete. Accurately predicting the complex modulus of asphalt mortar is essential to further estimating asphalt concrete’s ...
Conversion Timing of Tunnel Excavation Methods in Upper-Soft and Lower-Hard Stratum Based on Displacement Direction Angle Theory: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Zi-Zhi Tunnel is a shallow-buried tunnel, and its geological conditions are generally upper soft and lower hard. Therefore, the designed excavation methods are the center diaphragm method and the bench method. For the ...
2D Aggregate Gradation Conversion Framework Integrated with 3D Random Aggregate Method and Machine-Learning for Asphalt Concrete
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) random mesostructure models have been broadly utilized to study mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of asphalt concrete due to their high availability and efficiency. The 2D aggregate gradation ...
Data-Mining Framework Integrating 3D Random Aggregate Method and Finite-Element Method for Mesoscopic Simulation of Asphalt Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Mesostructure-based simulation technology offers an effective approach to modeling the mesomechanical responses of asphalt concrete and studying its mesomechanisms. However, current exploration depth and utilization level ...
Quantifying Weathering-Aging Test Parameters of High Viscosity–Modified Asphalt by Establishing a Conversion Relationship with Standard PAV Aging
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to quantify the weathering-aging degree by establishing a conversion relationship with standard pressure-aging vessel (PAV) aging, thus guiding the selection of environmental parameters in the ...
