Download or read book Advances in Aggregates and Armourstone Evaluation written by John-Paul Latham and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maintenance and upgrading of our built environment, including large sections of coastal defences, relies heavily on natural construction materials. The text aims to highlight a range of pressing research issues in natural construction materials of direct relevance to an industry facing growing pressures for environmental sustainability and standardization of product quality within Europe. Tests and specifications given in the forthcoming Eurostandards for aggregates and armourstones are considered and correlated with older more widely used tests, including those which could impact upon current road safety. This text should be useful to: aggregate and amourstone suppliers and users; civil and engineering geologists; quarry companies; and Local and County Authority engineers and coastal engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction materials are the most widely used materials for civil infrastructure in our daily lives. However, from an environmental point of view, they consume a huge amount of natural resources and generate the majority of greenhouse gasses. Therefore, many new and novel technologies for designing environmentally friendly construction materials have been developed recently. This Special Issue, “Environment-Friendly Construction Materials”, has been proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of construction materials. It covers a wide range of selected topics on construction materials.

Download or read book Modeling and Design of Flexible Pavements and Materials written by Dallas N. Little and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook lays out the state of the art for modeling of asphalt concrete as the major structural component of flexible pavements. The text adopts a pedagogy in which a scientific approach, based on materials science and continuum mechanics, predicts the performance of any configuration of flexible roadways subjected to cyclic loadings. The authors incorporate state-of the-art computational mechanics to predict the evolution of material properties, stresses and strains, and roadway deterioration. Designed specifically for both students and practitioners, the book presents fundamentally complex concepts in a clear and concise way that aids the roadway design community to assimilate the tools for designing sustainable roadways using both traditional and innovative technologies.

Download or read book Video Image Analysis of Aggregates written by E. Tutumluer and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on evaluating performances of different video imaging systems, both commercially available and newly developed, for automating the determination of coarse aggregate (nominal size greater than 4.75 mm or No.4 sieve) size and shape properties, i.e., flat and elongated ratio, gradation, and angularity. These properties impacting performance of asphalt pavements were previously developed into a set of consensus properties to identify proper aggregates for SHRP Superpave asphalt concrete mix designs. A total of 10 bags of aggregate samples, primarily crushed gravel, limestone, and dolomite provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation (lDOT), were used to evaluate speed, precision, and accuracy of various image analysis techniques, specifically, (1) the digital image analysis technique proposed by Frost and Lai (1996); (2) the commercially available French video grader VDG 40; (3) the recent WipShape system at the University of Missouri-Rolla; and finally, (4) the new "University of Illinois (UI) Aggregate Image Analyzer." Based on the evaluation results, not all the properties, i.e., flat and elongated ratio, gradation, and angularity, could possibly be determined from one system. The new Ul Aggregate Image Analyzer was developed to provide one system for all properties, based on the use of 3 cameras for accurately reconstructing the three-dimensional shape, i.e., computing volume of an aggregate particle, and automating the determination of all the aforementioned properties. The Analyzer took approximately 70 minutes to test an entire bag of over 1000 particles using a Pentium II computer with a 350-MHz processor speed. The computed flat and elongated ratios in percentage by weight were in very good agreement with the results obtained by manual caliper at I DOT. The repeatability of the Ul lmage Analyzer results was also very good. The imaging based gradation curves were found to match very closely with the mechanical sieve analysis results. In addition, a new Angularity Index was developed to numerically quantify the shape of coarse aggregates analyzed using the Ul Aggregate Image Analyzer.
