Abstract: Pipelines are essential elements in the daily operation of modern cities, but significant economic loss and environmental damage commonly occur because of pipeline leakage. The acoustic method has proven to be effective ...

Abstract: Urban waste glass powder (GP) has been identified as the Si-rich (>70%) but Ca- and Al-deficient precursor material for use in alkali-activated materials (AAMs). To facilitate the recycling and utilization of GP, this ...

Abstract: The utilization of acidic aggregates in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is often inevitable due to the limited supply of locally available aggregates, posing a potential threat of moisture damage to asphalt pavements. In this regard, ...

Abstract: With the development of state-of-the-art algorithms, pavement distress can already be detected automatically. However, most pavement distress detection is currently implemented as a single task, either at the region level ...

Abstract: The modified boiling test based on image processing has gained significant attention in recent years, aimed at replacing subjective visual observation with an objective measurement. However, there are still some unsolved ...

Abstract: The frictional properties of aggregates play a significant role in determining pavement skid resistance. To preserve natural aggregates, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has been widely used for decades. However, its use ...

Abstract: Aggregate gradation is crucial for the performance of asphalt mixtures. However, the adequate mix design must include the compromise between performance and workability. This study used two compaction methods: the impact ...
