ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractTo solve the problems of low flame retardant efficiency and weak low-temperature performance of asphalt modified by conventional flame retardants (CFR), in this study, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and CFR were…
AbstractThis study aims to investigate the moisture and salt-erosion resistance of asphalt-calcined bauxite systems (ACBSs). The effects of the type of asphalt, aged asphalt, polymer modifiers, and grade of calcined…
AbstractTo reduce air pollution during asphalt pavement construction in road tunnels, and to increase fire safety of asphalt pavement when exposed to a tunnel fire, a porous warm-mix agent (WMA)…
AbstractUltraviolet (UV) aging can cause serious degradation of asphalt performance and shorten the service life of asphalt pavement. In this research, a kind of layered ultraviolet reflective material Ca/Mg/Al layered…
AbstractTo compare the aging behavior of asphalt before and after short-term aging, the rolling thin-film oven test (RTFOT) was used to conduct short-term aging experiments involving an A-70 matrix asphalt…
AbstractThe aim of the current research was to evaluate, model, and predict the water sensitivity of a mixture modified by nano TiO2 using the artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple…
AbstractThis paper details a survival analysis of fatigue crack initiation on thin asphalt surfaces using in-service pavement data from a toll road network in southern Africa collected over a 15…
AbstractBased on the positive effect of metal material on the healing property of asphalt binder, this study evaluated the merits of using taconite (an iron-containing filler from iron-mine tailings) to…
Pavement deterioration takes many forms. It can manifest in almost imperceptible flaws, like surface roughness, to much more evident distresses, such as web-like alligator cracks. While the causes of these…
Every time you hear a deep rumble and feel your house shake when a big truck roars by, that’s partly because the weight of heavy vehicles causes a slight deflection…
