Abstract: Herein, a vertical vibration compaction method (VVTM) is proposed to stimulate the practical compaction loading condition for a large stone asphalt mixture with nominal maximum size of 53 mm (LSAM-50) and its reliability ...

Abstract: Graded gravel is a typical filler for railroad subgrade and the procedures for designing and evaluating it are crucial. The current specifications only stipulate the physical indicators of graded gravel material groups and ...

Abstract: Simulation modeling is important in predicting the productivity of construction operations and the performance of project schedules. It would be desirable if operation and project models are vertically integrated in practice. ...

Abstract: The calculation method of asphalt film thickness was proposed by considering the specific surface area of coarse and fine aggregates [computed tomography (CT) and Blaine test methods] and the wrapping effect of fine particles ...

Abstract: The effects of fiber type and content on the properties of emulsified asphalt cold recycled mixture (ECRM) produced using vertical vibration compaction are examined. The reliability of the vertical vibration testing method ...
