Abstract: The objective of this research study was to conduct a laboratory investigation of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), containing a high percentage of natural sand mixtures, in terms of moisture susceptibility, permanent ...

Abstract: Stripping has damaged some of South Carolina's asphaltic concrete pavements. It is not known whether the material properties of stripped asphalt pavement will allow its use for recycling. A field and laboratory study was ...

Abstract: Accurately predicting the stiffness of asphalt pavements is difficult due to the complex behavior of materials under various loading, pavement structure, and environmental conditions. This study explores the utilization ...

Abstract: In the United States, the American Concrete Institute method (ACI 211) is the most widely used concrete mix design. However, ACI 211 does not consider all factors regarding concrete mix design. The acceptance of a freshly ...

Abstract: The objective of this research project was to conduct a laboratory investigation of alternative polymerized asphalt mixtures in terms of moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation, dynamic modulus, and flow number of ...

Abstract: Dwindling supplies and rising costs of natural resources used in road construction as well as concerns over shrinking landfill spaces prompt researchers to investigate the use of waste products, such as coal ash, as ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to conduct a laboratory investigation of rheological properties of non-foaming warm mix asphalt (WMA) binder after a short-term aging procedure. The conventional testing procedures such as ...

Abstract: There have been many studies investigating the properties of crumb rubber modified (CRM) binders, but few that have attempted to quantify the specific effects that the addition of crumb rubber has on asphalt binders. The ...

Abstract: The objective of this research project was to conduct a laboratory investigation of alternative polymerized asphalt mixtures in terms of moisture susceptibility, permanent deformation, dynamic modulus, and flow number of ...

Abstract: Proper earth‐moving equipment selection is a major factor when trying to satisfy a project's budget and schedule requirements. The selection of the equipment is best performed by personnel with experience in earth‐moving ...
