Abstract: In tropical countries, roads built with asphalt layers must be made with bituminous mixtures containing asphalt that is reasonably stiff to increase resistance against permanent deformations, i.e., rutting. When the available ...

Abstract: Significant amounts of blast furnace slag (BFS) are generated daily as by-product from iron and steel industries. This waste material usually has interesting physical properties and mineralogical and chemical composition, ...

Abstract: In tropical countries, roads built with asphalt layers must be made with bituminous mixtures containing asphalt that is reasonably stiff to increase resistance against permanent deformations, i.e., rutting. When the ...

Abstract: In Brazil, large quantities of iron ore tailings (IOT) are produced as a result of iron mining, which may affect the environment negatively. This work evaluated the use of IOT in hot mix asphalt type C (HMA-C). For this ...

Abstract: Phosphorites (PF) have small particle sizes and interesting chemical compositions to be used as filler in asphalt mixtures. The present study assessed the performance that a hot-mix asphalt (HMA) displays when the natural ...

Abstract: Clays and clay minerals are widely used as raw materials in different industrial processes due to their abundance. Generally, in road construction projects, clays are considered waste materials because they have some ...
