To solve the problem of high cost transient temperature simulation in whole construction process an asphalt-concrete core wall, a novel adaptive degree freedom condensation algorithm for simulating is proposed. This method establishes judgment criterion based on error estimator mesh and artificial energy added by condensation. In this method, transformation matrix between master slave degrees c...

Abstract Self-healing on pavement is solution to reduce the handling of road damage without doing heavy construction. Calcium Alginate capsules are mixed in AC-WC (Asphalt Concrete Waring Coarse) Asb Lawele as an added ingredient healing from cracks. Marshall Test specification reference assess can use Asphalt Concrete. Optimum Content 6.2% used make Modification Mix with Alginate. contains 2% ...

BACKGROUND Asphalt workers are exposed to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from hot mix asphalt via both inhalation and dermal absorption. The use of crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt may result in higher exposure to PAHs and more adverse effects. Our aim is to assess occupational exposure to PAHs from conventional and CRM asphalt paving by measuring PAH metabolites in urine, and to investiga...

In our research project entitled "Chemical irritative and/or genotoxic effect of fumes of bitumen under high processing temperatures on the airways," 73 mastic asphalt workers exposed to fumes of bitumen and 49 construction nonexposed workers were analyzed and compared with respect to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure and exposure-related health effects. In order to assess the in...

Over the past decade, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) focused research efforts on improving hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC) mix design to preclude rutting in the early life of pavements. However, these rut-resistant stiff mixtures may be susceptible to long-term fatigue cracking due to oxidative aging. This project completed initial development of an HMAC mixture fatigue design a...

To solve the problem of rutting and fatigue damage to asphalt pavement, rutting and fatigue performances of Qingchuan rock asphalt modified asphalt were studied, based on the dynamic shear rheometer test, the dynamic creep test, the rutting test, the indirect tensile fatigue test, the small-sized acceleration loading test, the compressive resilient modulus test, the BISAR3.0 Program and the rut...
