Recycling of Asphalt Pavements with Asphalt Rubber

, 2008
Pavement recycling has been an important rehabilitation technique to deal with reclaimed materials from old pavements which are usually sent to landfills. The application of this technique contributes to: i) the accomplishment of the requirements defined by the European legislation for the amount of material sent to landfills; ii) the reduction in the ...

Effect of foamed asphalt on the properties of the asphalt mixture with reclaimed asphalt pavement

Roads and Bridges – Drogi i Mosty
The paper presents the effects of foamed asphalt modified with synthetic wax (SWLC) and tall oil amidopolyamine (TOA) at 1.5% m/m and 0.4% m/m, respectively, on an asphalt mixture containing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The experimental plan and research methodology for determining the properties of the innovative foamed asphalt are presented. The

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

Multiscale characterization of the UV aging resistance and mechanism of light stabilizer-modified asphalt

Reviews on Advanced Materials Science
To clarify the effect and mechanism of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) on the UV aging behavior of asphalt binder, T622-HALS was selected as the modifier for UV aging resistance of asphalt. The physicochemical properties and microstructure of T622

A framework to evaluate and identify development requirements for land‐surface models at km‐scale resolution: Application to a semi‐arid and mountainous region

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This article provides a first evaluation of land‐surface models at the km‐scale resolutions at which they are used in weather and Earth‐system models. At these resolutions, the lateral transfers of water that organize landscapes play an important role in predicting evaporation correctly. Riparian processes and human water management for irrigation need

Brittle Point of Asphalt and Asphaltic Mixtures.

Journal of The Japan Petroleum Institute, 1996
本研究は種々のアスファルトを用い, 流動からぜい性に転移する種々のぜい化点を求めるため, アスファルトではフラースぜい化点試験, 森吉ぜい化点試験, アスファルト混合物では熱応力試験, 曲げ試験を行い, それぞれから得られる種々のぜい化点の相互の関係について述べている。実験の結果, 本研究は種々のアスファルトおよびそのアスファルトを用いたアスファルト混合物の各種試験から求められた4種のぜい化点は互いに密接な関係にあることを明らかにした。また, アスファルト舗装の対象地域の外気温や舗装表面温度とわだち掘れや亀裂をも考慮した合理的なアスファルトの選定法についても提案した。

ADAPT: An Autonomous Forklift for Construction Site Operation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Efficient material logistics are critical in controlling costs and schedules in the construction industry. However, manual material handling remains prone to inefficiencies, delays, and safety risks. Autonomous forklifts offer a solution to streamline on‐site logistics, reducing reliance on human operators and mitigating labor shortages.
