Low skid resistance of road marking paint is one of the major issues in the safety of vehicle drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians when traveling on the city streets. Among the variety of marking paint, two-component paint is widely used at intersections and roundabouts. Therefore, the paint used should have adequate skid resistance. The object of this study was to evaluat...

The environmental impacts of producing asphalt mixtures with different percentages of asphalt binder replacement (ABR) are assessed using the technique of life cycle assessment (LCA). In this paper, only the material production phase of the pavement life cycle is considered. To improve the quality of the LCA, a regionalized life cycle inventory (LCI) database for the Northern Illinois region is...

The use of recycled materials in pavement construction has seen, over the years, a significant increase closely associated with substantial economic and environmental benefits. During the past decades, many transportation agencies have evaluated the effect of adding Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), and, more recently, Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) on the performance of asphalt pavement, whil...

The publication focuses on the testing of tensile strength samples produced by Fused Filament Fabrication additive manufacturing technology. Three materials rPLA, rPETG and rPET were tested. These are recycled PLA (Polylactic Acid), PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glucol) PET Terephthalate). used to create for according ASTM D638. In addition materials, methodology was also tested using sets s...
