Book Moisture Damage in Asphalt Concrete

Download or read book Moisture Damage in Asphalt Concrete written by Russell G. Hicks and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1991 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to pavement designers, construction engineers, maintenance engineers, and others interested in avoiding or limiting moisture damage in asphalt concrete. Information is provided on physical and chemical explanations for moisture damage in asphalt concrete, along with a discussion of current practices and test methods for determining or reducing the susceptibility of various asphalt concrete components and mixtures to such damage. Moisture damage in asphalt concrete is a nationwide problem which often necessitates premature replacement of highway pavement surfaces. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the underlying physical and chemical phenomena responsible for such damage. Current test methods used to determine the susceptibility of asphalt concretes, or their constituents, to moisture damage are described and evaluated. Additionally, current practices for minimizing the potential for moisture damage are examined.

Book Advances in Asphalt Materials

Download or read book Advances in Asphalt Materials written by Shin-Che Huang and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The urgent need for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance has led to a rise in the levels of research into bituminous materials. Breakthroughs in sustainable and environmentally friendly bituminous materials are certain to have a significant impact on national economies and energy sustainability. This book will provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in research and technological developments in bituminous materials. Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the physiochemical characterisation and analysis of asphalt materials. Part Two reviews the range of distress (damage) mechanisms in asphalt materials, with chapters covering cracking, deformation, fatigue cracking and healing of asphalt mixtures, as well as moisture damage and the multiscale oxidative aging modelling approach for asphalt concrete. The final section of this book investigates alternative asphalt materials. Chapters within this section review such aspects as alternative binders for asphalt pavements such as bio binders and RAP, paving with asphalt emulsions and aggregate grading optimization. - Provides an insight into advances and techniques for bituminous materials - Comprehensively reviews the physicochemical characteristics of bituminous materials - Investigate asphalt materials on the nano-scale, including how RAP/RAS materials can be recycled and how asphalt materials can self-heal and rejuvenator selection

Book Rheometry of Pastes  Suspensions  and Granular Materials

Download or read book Rheometry of Pastes Suspensions and Granular Materials written by Philippe Coussot and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-06-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive examination of rheometry theory and its practical applications This publication enables readers to understand and characterize the flow properties of complex fluids and, with this knowledge, develop a wide range of industrial and consumer products. The author fills a gap in the current literature by presenting a comprehensive description of the rheological behavior of pastes, suspensions, and granular materials and by offering readers the rheometrical techniques needed to effectively characterize these materials. With his extensive experience in both academic and industrial research, the author is able to take the field to a new level in: * General schematic classification of the behavior of pastes,suspensions, and granular materials * Systematic review, analysis, and quantification of experimental problems with complex fluids * Insight into the flow behavior of complex fluids gained through the most recent discoveries and research techniques * Comprehensive rheometrical analysis of data obtained from research across a broad range of industries In addition to gaining a thorough understanding of the theory underlining rheometry, readers discover its many practical applications. Throughout the publication, specific examples are provided that illustrate how theory is applied, including examples involving food, civil engineering, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paper coatings, paint and ink, ceramics, sewage sludges, granular materials, and natural materials. In summary, this publication provides a comprehensive review of the behavior of pastes, suspensions, and granular materials as well as detailed analysis of rheometrical techniques. Everything needed to determine the behavior and movement of complex fluids is provided. It is, therefore, a recommended resource for rheologists, engineers, and researchers, as well as students who deal with complex fluids in product formulation, quality and process control, and process plant design.

Book Moisture Damage of Asphalt Pavements

Download or read book Moisture Damage of Asphalt Pavements written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A technical review of moisture damage of asphalt pavements and antistripping additives has beencompleted as part of a review and testing study for the Transportation Association of Canada that has the objective of developing a Canadian manual on the assessment of moisture susceptibility and selection of antistripping additives. The review is based on practical asphalt technology experience, questionnaires to agencies and asphalt cement suppliers, and the technical literature on moisture damage of asphalt pavements. Methods of mitigating moisture damage in asphalt pavement structures, in addition to the use of antistripping additives, such as drainage, compaction, aggregates selection, mix designs and quality control, were reviewed in terms of stripping mechanisms and causes. The Strategic Highway Research Program has involved considerable research on the moisture susceptibility of asphalt concrete and appropriate laboratory procedures to assess moisture damage. Qualitative and quantitative (strength) tests for assessing the moisture susceptibility of hot-mix asphalt mixes are reviewed. There is strong technical support for the Tunnicliff-Root (ASTM D 4867), Modified Lottman (AASHTO T 283) and Ontario MTO Immersion Marshall (LS-283) tests. The use of liquid (amines generally) and hydrated lime antistripping additives is considered. There is considerable technical information on the comparative efficacy of hydrated lime as an antistripping additive. An important area of research need is appropriate quality control/quality assurance to monitor the field effectiveness of antistripping additives. For the covering abstract of this conference see IRRD number 872978.
