This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: Excellent, , course: Raod and Transport Engineering, language: English, abstract: Marshall Mix design was developed for the hottest pavement surface temperature of the USA, which is 60-degree Celsius. This design mechanism is very dominant in our country. It was directly adopted without any modification. The research aims to develop a prediction model that will be employed to modify the Marshall Mix design method for the Ethiopian climate and incorporate maximum pavement surface temperature. In order to do so, ten years historical air temperature of Ethiopia, taken from the National Metrology Agency which was used to determine the hottest month for onsite measurement of 24 towns. For each town, actual maximum pavement surface temperature was measured from August 2016- February 2018, using Nanosensor/ radiator thermometer. The countries climate was classified into four climatic regions for the purpose of this research. For each region, a representative town is incorporated on the study. Based on site measurement and maximum air temperature with the associated latitude, Multivariate Regression Model was selected. To select the model R-squared value method, an excel analysis of scatter plots and collinearity of the explanatory variables was checked. All the inputs were provided to STATA SE-13 statistical software and model developed. After the model was developed by all the 24 towns' data, it was validated and cross-validated by dividing the data into 5 folds in order to make it applicable for all scenarios. The model was further elaborated in a laboratory case study, for the hottest town of Samara, Afar region capital. Mix design was prepared at 60°C, which is the standard specimen heating temperature and at 75°C, which is the actual maximum pavement surface temperature of Samara town. The mix that was prepared at 60° C, found to fulfill all the criteria's of Marshall Mix design outlined by Asphalt Institute for heavy Traffics. Whereas, at 75°C, it fails to do so. Therefore, mix design should be conducted at the place maximum pavement surface Temperature rather than conducting at the standard 60degree Celsius.

Book excerpt: Heat islands are urban and suburban areas that are significantly warmer than their surroundings. Traditional, highly absorptive construction materials and a lack of effective landscaping are their main causes. Heat island problems, in terms of increased energy consumption, reduced air quality and effects on human health and mortality, are becoming more pressing as cities continue to grow and sprawl. This comprehensive book brings together the latest information about heat islands and their mitigation. The book describes how heat islands are formed, what problems they cause, which technologies mitigate heat island effects and what policies and actions can be taken to cool communities. Internationally renowned expert Lisa Gartland offers a comprehensive source of information for turning heat islands into cool communities. The author includes sections on cool roofing and cool paving, explains their benefits in detail and provides practical guidelines for their selection and installation. The book also reviews how and why to incorporate trees and vegetation around buildings, in parking lots and on green roofs.
