Abstract: Glass fiber forming is a complicated process in which many factors could affect the quality of fibers. The forming machine has many fiber-forming tubes that are close to each other and arranged ...

Abstract: Porous asphalt pavement has been used for multiple purposes, but its large porosity makes it easy to age by long-term weathering conditions; this causes its premature failure through raveling, fatigue, and so forth. This ...

Abstract: Polyurethane grouting can be used for antiseepage and reinforcement in underground construction. Understanding the diffusion characteristics of polyurethane grout is critical for good grouting design. However, the influence ...

Abstract: Porous asphalt pavement have been widely employed for various functions. However, due to its large voids and small contact area between particles, the reflective cracks results from semirigid base layer shrinkage cracking ...

Abstract: As one of the key factors of urban development, cultural space plays a crucial role in highlighting urban characteristics and inheriting urban culture. A comparative study of the core built-up areas in Xi’an and New York ...

Abstract: An odometer is an important part of a pipeline inspection gauge (pig) for measuring distance and defining the position of pipeline defects. Due to the peculiarity of their construction, odometers are prone to unbounded ...

Abstract: The composite dielectric model of asphalt mixtures is crucial to the use of the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for detecting compaction, asphalt content, and other quality-related indexes of asphalt pavements. In this ...

Abstract: The composite dielectric model of asphalt mixtures is crucial to the use of the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for detecting compaction, asphalt content, and other quality-related indexes of asphalt pavements. In this ...

Abstract: Asphalt mixtures, composed of air, aggregate (limestone), and asphalt (matrix), are sensitive to temperature. In order to clarify the influence of temperature on the dielectric properties of asphalt mixtures and improve ...

Abstract: In recent years, lignin has received increasing attention due to its wide availability, low cost, renewability, and potential for improving the performance of asphalt pavement. The purpose of this study is to investigate ...
