Strength Mechanism and Influence Factors for Cold Recycled Asphalt Mixture

Laboratory Evaluation of High Asphalt Binder Replacement with Recycled Asphalt Shingles (ras) for a Low N-design Asphalt Mixture

This study investigated the effect of high asphalt binder replacement for a low N-design asphalt mixture including RAP and RAS on performance indicators such as permanent deformation, fracture, fatigue potentials, and stiffness, was studied. An experimental program included complex modulus, fracture, overlay reflective cracking resistance, wheel track permanent deformations, and push-pull fatig...

Analysis of the strength of hot in-place recycled asphalt, its affecting factors and its comparison with conventional methods

In recent decades, economic development and population growth in the world has led to the expansion of road networks. Therefore the use of optimum methods for repairing and maintenance of these roads is considered as an important value. Today one of the options in this regard, is the use of asphalt recycling technology. The present study which took place in the summer of 2015 in Iran, Lorestan ...

Influence of Waxes on Bitumen and Asphalt Concrete Mixture Performance

This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. Effects of wax in crude oil, bitu...

Evaluation of the Mechanical Properties of the cement treated Cold-in-Place Recycled Asphalt Mixtures

Cold-in-place recycling (CIR) is an environmentally sustainable alternative for preservation of asphalt pavements. A major disadvantage of this practice is the lower strength of the cold-in-place mixtures. Addition of cement into this type of mixture is a method for increasing its bearing capacity. The effect of cement content on the mechanical properties of the cold-in-place recycled asphalt m...
