This book was released on 2013 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R06B-RW-1: Evaluating Applications of Field Spectroscopy Devices to Fingerprint Commonly Used Construction Materials documents evaluation results of practical, portable spectroscopic equipment for in-situ analysis of a wide range of commonly used construction materials. The report also includes proposed American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards of practice for the analysis of titanium content in traffic paints by X-ray fluorescence and identification of chemical admixtures by attenuated total reflectance. The results of Renewal Project R06B, which produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R06B-RW-1, will be incorporated into an electronic repository for practitioners, known as the NDToolbox, which will provide information regarding recommended technologies for the detection of a particular deterioration. The NDToolbox is in the process of being created by SHRP 2 Renewal Project R06A, which has released SHRP 2 Report S2-R06A-RR-1: Nondestructive Testing to Identify Concrete Bridge Deck Deterioration that identifies nondestructive testing technologies for detecting and characterizing common forms of deterioration in concrete bridge decks. Renewal Project R06B is one of seven follow-on projects to SHRP Renewal Project R06 that produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R06-RW: A Plan for Developing High-Speed, Nondestructive Testing Procedures for Both Design Evaluation and Construction Inspection, which examines existing and emerging nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technologies and their current state of implementation to satisfy the NDE needs for highway renewal"--TRB Website.

Download or read book Evaluation of Modified Asphalt Using Chlorinated and Maleated Waste Polymers written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt modification using polymeric additives derived from solid wastes, i.e. polyolefins, is reported. Chlorination of polyethylene can be controlled to produce semicrystalline polymeric additives. Differential scanning calorimetry can be used to determine the asphalt crystallinity and the distribution components among phases in asphalt/polymer blends. To enhance the resolution of a given thermogram, a several-step annealing process is required to experimentally realize a near-equilibrium state. Introducing chlorine atoms on polyethylene chains can improve the compatibility of the asphaltlpolymer blends by adjusting the interaction between the components of asphalt and polymer. Maleation of polyolefins at very low levels (one to two percent) is an effective means for enhancing the polarity of the additive without influencing the degree of crystallization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asphalt modification is an important area in the development of new road and pavement materials. There is an urgent demand for road materials that can minimize fracture at low temperatures and increase resistance to deformation at high temperatures. The function of asphalt is to bind aggregate to protect it from water and other harmful agents. In the beginning asphalt was ideal for this purpose, but recently traffic loads have increased and environmental factors have deteriorated more rapidly than before. Asphalt is a byproduct of crude oil in the refining process, and it is considered a complex heterogeneous mixture of hydrocarbons. Asphalt modification has become an important research area, using several methods and new materials as modifiers.
