Enhanced Dry Process Method for Modified Asphalt Containing Plastic Waste

Evaluation of Fatigue Properties of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Reclaimed Asphalt using Response Surface Method

This paper presents the effects of different amounts of reclaimed asphalt on fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. Central composite method was used to design of experiments based on response surface method (RSM). Binder type (Pen 60/70 and Pen 85/100), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content (25, 50 and 75%) and loading strain (150, 250 and 350 micro strain) were selected as independent variables...

Polymer Modified Asphalt Emulsion

In road paving industry, asphalt emulsion is used for cold mix application such as chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, cold recycled mixture and etc. Asphalt emulsion has several advantages compared to normal asphalt such as eco-friendly, easy to handle at ambient temperature and energy saving material because it does not need any heating process in its application. The history of asphalt e...

Enhanced ACS algorithms for plastic analysis of planar frames

In recent years, the trend in solving optimization problems has been directed toward using heuristic algorithms such as neural networks, genetic and ant colony algorithms. The main reason for this trend can be attributed to the fact that these algorithms can be efficiently adjusted to the specific search space to which they are applied and consequently they can be used for many optimization pro...

The asphalt paving process

Language: English The Challenge At the outset the asphalt paving process seems to be simple. Trucks deliver hot mix asphalt from plants to the construction site. There the asphalt is loaded on asphalt pavers that evenly spread the asphalt. Finally, compactors compact the asphalt to its required density. Despite this relatively structured process our research shows that there are significant dis...
