Book Geosynthetics in Flexible and Rigid Pavement Overlay Systems to Reduce Reflection Cracking

Download or read book Geosynthetics in Flexible and Rigid Pavement Overlay Systems to Reduce Reflection Cracking written by Gregory S. Cleveland and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this research project was to evaluate geotextiles placed under or within a hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay to reduce the severity or delay the appearance of reflection cracks. Researchers evaluated six geosynthetics, representing fabrics, grids, and composites in the laboratory using the TTI Overlay Tester. The overlay tester accommodates a 3x6x20-in. HMA beam and evaluates the relative ability of different beams (with and without a geosynthetic) to resist thermal cracking. Geosynthetics consistently increased number of cycles to failure in laboratory tests. Researchers then used fracture mechanics to evaluate the laboratory results and develop a new evaluation methodology termed the "reinforcing factor."

Book 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking in Pavements

Download or read book 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking in Pavements written by A. Scarpas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-30 with total page 1340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recent past, new materials, laboratory and in-situ testing methods and construction techniques have been introduced. In addition, modern computational techniques such as the finite element method enable the utilization of sophisticated constitutive models for realistic model-based predictions of the response of pavements. The 7th RILEM International Conference on Cracking of Pavements provided an international forum for the exchange of ideas, information and knowledge amongst experts involved in computational analysis, material production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. All submitted contributions were subjected to an exhaustive refereed peer review procedure by the Scientific Committee, the Editors and a large group of international experts in the topic. On the basis of their recommendations, 129 contributions which best suited the goals and the objectives of the Conference were chosen for presentation and inclusion in the Proceedings. The strong message that emanates from the accepted contributions is that, by accounting for the idiosyncrasies of the response of pavement engineering materials, modern sophisticated constitutive models in combination with new experimental material characterization and construction techniques provide a powerful arsenal for understanding and designing against the mechanisms and the processes causing cracking and pavement response deterioration. As such they enable the adoption of truly "mechanistic" design methodologies. The papers represent the following topics: Laboratory evaluation of asphalt concrete cracking potential; Pavement cracking detection; Field investigation of pavement cracking; Pavement cracking modeling response, crack analysis and damage prediction; Performance of concrete pavements and white toppings; Fatigue cracking and damage characterization of asphalt concrete; Evaluation of the effectiveness of asphalt concrete modification; Crack growth parameters and mechanisms; Evaluation, quantification and modeling of asphalt healing properties; Reinforcement and interlayer systems for crack mitigation; Thermal and low temperature cracking of pavements; and Cracking propensity of WMA and recycled asphalts.

Book The Roles of Accelerated Pavement Testing in Pavement Sustainability

Download or read book The Roles of Accelerated Pavement Testing in Pavement Sustainability written by José P. Aguiar-Moya and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compendium gathers the latest advances in the area of Accelerated Pavement Testing (APT), a means of testing full-scale pavement construction in an accelerated manner for structural deterioration in a very short term. Compiling novel research results presented at the 5th International Conference on Accelerated Pavement Testing, San Jose, Costa Rica, the volume serves as a timely and highly relevant resource for materials scientists and engineers interested in determining the performance of a pavement structure during its service life (10+ years) in a few weeks or months.

Book Advances in Geosynthetics Engineering

Download or read book Advances in Geosynthetics Engineering written by Mohamed Meguid and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-28 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains contributions on advances in geosynthetics engineering. Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The most commonly used reinforcement materials are galvanised steel strips, geosynthetics in the form of woven geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, and fibres from natural and waste products. In recent years, there have been advances in the area of soil reinforcement, especially in the utilization of the technique in field projects. The researchers have also been working to understand the behaviour of reinforced soil considering the field challenges of reinforced soil structures. The volume is based on the best contributions to the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The official international congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE).
