Comprehensive Assessment of Nano-Silica Modified Asphalt Mixtures: Influence of RAP Content, Aging, and Performance Characteristics [PDF]
Using recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in asphalt mixtures is common for improving sustainability, but it can lower performance because of the aging and hardening of RAP binder. Aged RAP is stiffer, less flexible, and more prone to cracking.

INVESTIGATING THE MOISTURE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF ASPHALT MIXTURES MODIFIED WITH HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE [PDF]
Flexible pavements are susceptible to the damaging effects of moisture, causing various kinds of problemes for asphalt such as stripping. That reduces the durability and serviceability life of pavements and consequently increases the construction and ...

Effect of Moisturizers on Skin Susceptibility to Irritants
Moisturizers are used for the treatment of dry and irritated skin. The benefit of moisturizers when used on normal skin has recently been challenged, since an earlier study indicated that the increased hydration that follows long-term use of moisturizers on normal skin may facilitate penetration of irritants.

Evaluation of Polyaminoamide as a Surfactant Additive in Hot Mix Asphalt
The phenomenon of breaking the bond between the aggregates and the bitumen is known as stripping. Stripping of asphalt films from the surface of aggregate particles results in premature failure of asphalt pavement.

Shrinkage and Other Corn-Quality Changes From Drying at Commercial Elevators [PDF]
Weight losses and corn-quality changes from drying and handling were measured at two modern country elevators. In addition to moisture losses, material handing losses averaged 0.88% of initial weight, with a range of 0.64% to 1.33% of initial weight ...

Investigation of nano ulexite mineral effects on mechanical behaviour of warm mix asphalt pavements
The research presented in the paper shows that further investigations on additives used in the warm mix asphalt technology are needed. It was observed that the negative effect of adhesion loss in asphalt mixes produced by warm process can be reduced by ...
