The coupling effect between tire and pavement is an intensively researched subject to analyse the dynamic interaction of the vehicle-pavement system. By considering the 11.00 R20 tire and expressway asphalt pavement, ABAQUS software was employed in this study to establish an improved model for simulating the coupling effect, in which the tire rubber was taken as a neoHookean material and the pa...

Cryogenic mechanical alloying (CMA) is investigated as a viable strategy by which to produce highly dispersed blends composed of thermoplastics and tire, thereby providing a potentially new route by which to recycle discarded tires. Morphological characterization of these blends by near-edge X-ray absorption ®ne structure (NEXAFS) microscopy demonstrates that, upon CMA, ground tire is highly di...

Abstract Quality of roads pavement can consider as one the essential criteria for good transportation system. So, to reduce problems fatigue crack and rutting roads, several actions have been taken including improving quality structure design methods. The increasing in attention traffic engineers last few years modify improve asphalt performance through providing a different type additives repl...

As two kinds of solid wastes, waste tires and steel slag have caused serious threats to the environment. Both tire rubber (WTR) powder (SSP) can improve performance asphalt, while indexes modification mechanism modified asphalt are not clear. In this paper, with SSP WTR was prepared, its evaluated. The physical properties WTR, including penetration, softening point, viscosity, were investigated...
