Mastic asphalt (MA) has been recognized as one of the most deformation-resistant and thus durable materials for bridge pavement. The performance properties MA are highly dependent on physical rheological binder applied in mixture. To modify to obtain expected mixture, Trinidad Lake Asphalt (TLA) is often applied. In this study, TLA-modified binders be used mastic pavement systems were evaluated...

Telezhenko E. 2007. Effect of flooring system on locomotion comfort in dairy cows: aspects of gait, preference and claw condition. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7375-6 The aim of the thesis was to study influence of different flooring systems on several aspects of locomotion of dairy cows. To assess the gait on different floors, trackway analysis was used. Cows walking ...

Asphalt binder film thickness has relation to mixing temperature and content in hot mix asphalt, which influences mixture’s performance. A significant variation assessing the asphalt been observed literature. Development of state art technology Superpave specification requires study actual at micro-level. This estimates micro-level compares results with those obtained through analytical models ...

Volcanic ash deposited on paved surfaces during volcanic eruptions often compromises skid resistance, which is a major component of safety. We adopt the British pendulum test method in laboratory conditions to investigate the skid resistance of road asphalt and airfield concrete surfaces covered by volcanic ash sourced from various locations in New Zealand. Controlled variations in ash characte...

A well established framework of an uncoupled hierarchical modeling approach is adopted here for the prediction of macroscopic material parameters of the Generalized Leonov (GL) constitutive model intended for the analysis of flexible pavements at both moderate and elevated temperature regimes. To that end, a recently introduced concept of a statistically equivalent periodic unit cell (SEPUC) is...

Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) has been broadly used on heavily trafficked roads and motorways in the UK due to its known stability durability. In this study, several sets of SMA mixtures were prod...

The effectiveness of weight ratio mineral filler to effective bitumen in the fatigue performance asphalt mixture with integral granules was investigated based on experiments mastic (mixture and passed through sieve grade 200). included a dynamic shear rheometer, elastic recovery, linear amplitude sweep tests other mixture, such as indirect tensile resilient modulus test for assessing medium tem...

Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) is a gap graded mix which categorised by more quantity of coarse aggregate, high content and fibre. Due to stone on contact presences filler content, it acts as stiff matrix reduces the rutting due heavy traffic load. This research presents study fatigue performance RAP replaced SMA mixes using VG 30 binder along with elastomer modifier results were compared conventio...
