Weak bonding between layers of pavement leads to damages on the composite pavement. Bonding plays an important role in the durability and maintenance of composite pavement layers. The present study evaluates the factors effective in bond strength of the interface between concrete and asphalt pavements. The factors considered for this purpose include steel slag percentage in the concrete pavemen...

a r t i c l e i n f o Cold recycling technique represents the most environmental friendly solution for pavement rehabilitation nowadays. In fact, this technique allows the use of the highest percentage of reclaimed asphalt avoiding the energy consumption related to aggregates heating required by the traditional hot mix asphalt design. The mix design represents a key phase of the cold mix produc...

The manufacturing processes of rubber crumb–wood particle reinforced cement based composites (RWCC) which shortened the pressing cycle and enhanced the properties were completely investigated. Meanwhile, optimal processing conditions as well as properties of strength were tested to validate the predicted variables and properties. Mechanism effects of interacting process variables [density, dura...

Peat is a notoriously problematic soil having high-water content, large void ratio, and weak engineering properties. Thus, it needs to be treated before utilization withstand structural stress. On the other hand, amount of waste tires increases exponentially due high demand for vehicles. Therefore, they need sustainably recovered recycled rather than disposed or incinerated. This study aimed st...

Asphalt rubber shows good road performance. However, the compatibility and aging problems of asphalt limit its application. The improvement solubility crumb in was investigated this research, mechanism effect on rheological properties activated studied. First, by using a sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) solution, pore characteristics microstructure were analyzed. Second, influence rubber’s activatio...
