Effects of Fines Content on Hydraulic and Mechanical Performance of Unbound Granular Base Aggregates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The fines content of a granular aggregate base (GAB) material (<0.074 mm) is highly variable and often related to the crushing process, transportation, and stockpiling in a quarry or site. The influence of fines content ...
Shear and Hydraulic Properties of Compost-Amended Topsoils for Use on Highway Slopes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in the US increases every year, and about 30% of the MSW generated is either recyclable or compostable. Utilization of compost-amended topsoils as a vegetative layer on ...
Mechanical and Environmental Suitability of Recycled Concrete Aggregate as a Highway Base Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) materials in highway constructions is economically viable and reduces virgin natural resource demands on the environment. To evaluate their potential use in highway construction, ...
Drainage and Mechanical Behavior of Highway Base Materials
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mechanical and drainage properties of graded aggregate base (GAB) materials used in mechanistic pavement design are the level one inputs. Several highway agencies need an evaluation of the stiffness and drainage ...
