Effects and Mechanisms of Different RPE/RPP Ratios on the Properties of Modified Asphalt. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene (RPE) and recycled polypropylene (RPP) are the most abundant types of plastic waste. Developing novel base asphalt modifiers (additives used to enhance the properties of asphalt) by blending RPE and RPP in different ratios is of ...

Microlayer Model: A Nonlinear Finite Strain Viscoelastoplastic Formulation for Asphalt
ABSTRACT The microlayer framework is an innovative and powerful approach for the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials, such as aggregate‐matrix composites across multiple scales. In this study, the microlayer framework is extended for the first time to account for viscoelastic‐elastoplastic material behavior.

EVALUATION PAVEMENT DISTRESSES USING PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX [PDF]
Pavement deterioration is resulted by both environmental and structural causes. It is difficult to maintain the road on the same specification that was owned at the opening and problems start to appear represented in the pavement cracks, holes and ...

Evaluation of Metals Leaching in Permeable Asphalt Pavement and Conventional Asphalt Pavement
A permeable asphalt pavement (PP) and a conventional asphalt pavement (PD) have been tested regarding the potential leaching of the metals Cd, Cr, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni and Zn during 11 rain events immediately after their construction. Water samples were picked up for the rain water and in four sampling points of both pavements during every rain, two located ...

Recycling of Polymer Components From Waste Face Masks for Asphalt Modification: A Mini Review
ABSTRACT The COVID‐19 pandemic greatly increased plastic waste through widespread personal protective equipment (PPE) use, creating a serious environmental challenge. Disposable face masks (FM), primarily composed of non‐biodegradable polypropylene, account for an estimated 86 million units discarded monthly, leading to significant environmental ...

Fracture Energy Method for Determining Stiffness in Polymer Modified Asphalt Binders Using the Single Edge Notched Beam [PDF]
Transverse cracking is a prevalent problem that occurs in asphalt pavement binders in cold climates and diminishes the integrity of the road as well as shortens the life span of the road leading to premature failure.
