Book Experimental Study of Hot Recycled Asphalt Mixtures with High Percentages of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement and Different Recycling Agents

Download or read book Experimental Study of Hot Recycled Asphalt Mixtures with High Percentages of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement and Different Recycling Agents written by Jinhai Yan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hot recycled mixture has been widely used as binder course on highways in the Jiangsu Province, China. The objectives of this study were to evaluate recycled mixture's performance with different Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) contents and recycling agents (RA). At first, optimum RA contents were determined according to asphalt blending charts based on penetration index. Secondly, the performance of recycled mixtures and control virgin asphalt mixture was evaluated based on retained stability, Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR), dynamic stability (DS), failure strain, and fatigue life. Thirdly, statistical significance on the basis of analysis of variance was evaluated as a function of RAP contents and RA type. The results indicated that adding RA could improve moisture stability, low temperature cracking resistance, while decreasing high temperature stability and strength performance of recycled mixture. Recycled asphalt mixture Sup-20 with RA has similar performance compared to virgin asphalt mixture Sup-20. The former has better moisture stability and high temperature stability than that of the latter, with a slight reduction in low temperature cracking and fatigue resistance. With a fixed RA-2, TSR, and failure strain of recycled mixes decreases, and DS first slightly decreases and then increases, while fatigue life first increases and then decreases with increasing RAP contents. The results indicated that the interface status and blending level between recycled asphalt and aggregate is variable due to the mixing process and material compositions, which results in the varied performance results of recycled mixes due to the different test temperatures, loading modes, and testing periods, etc. Furthermore, the results of analysis of variance are consistent with the experimental test results.

Book Evaluating the Effects of Recycling Agents on Asphalt Mixtures with High RAS and RAP Binder Ratios

Download or read book Evaluating the Effects of Recycling Agents on Asphalt Mixtures with High RAS and RAP Binder Ratios written by Amy Epps Martin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than 90 percent of highways and roads in the United States are built using hot-mix asphalt (HMA) or warm-mix asphalt (WMA) mixtures, and these mixtures now recycle more than 99 percent of some 76.2 million tons of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and about 1 million tons of recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) each year. Cost savings in 2017 totaled approximately $2.2 billion with these recycled materials replacing virgin materials. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 927: Evaluating the Effects of Recycling Agents on Asphalt Mixtures with High RAS and RAP Binder Ratios presents an evaluation of how commercially available recycling agents affect the performance of asphalt mixtures incorporating RAP and RAS at high recycled binder ratios."--

Book Simple Performance Tester for Superpave Mix Design

Download or read book Simple Performance Tester for Superpave Mix Design written by Ramon Francis Bonaquist and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2003 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global response to COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of vigilance and preparedness for infectious diseases, particularly influenza. There is a need for more effective influenza vaccines and modern manufacturing technologies that are adaptable and scalable to meet demand during a pandemic. The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has demonstrated what is possible with extensive data sharing, researchers who have the necessary resources and novel technologies to conduct and apply their research, rolling review by regulators, and public-private partnerships. As demonstrated throughout the response to COVID-19, the process of research and development of novel vaccines can be significantly optimized when stakeholders are provided with the resources and technologies needed to support their response. Vaccine Research and Development to Advance Pandemic and Seasonal Influenza Preparedness and Response focuses on how to leverage the knowledge gained from the COVID-19 pandemic to optimize vaccine research and development (R&D) to support the prevention and control of seasonal and pandemic influenza. The committee's findings address four dimensions of vaccine R&D: (1) basic and translational science, (2) clinical science, (3) manufacturing science, and (4) regulatory science.
