Performance Evaluation of Plant Produced Warm Mix Asphalt

Journal of Engineering, 2018
Warm mix asphalt (WMA) is relatively a new technology which enables the production and compaction of asphalt concrete mixtures at temperatures 15-40 °C lower than that of traditional hot mix asphalt HMA. In the present work, six asphalt concrete mixtures

Performance Evaluation of Warm- and Hot-Mix Asphalt Mixtures Based on Laboratory and Accelerated Pavement Tests

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2012
A number of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies are used to reduce the temperature at which the asphalt mixtures are produced and compacted, apparently without compromising the performance of the pavement. The main objective of this study is to determine

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental

Towards Optimized Awake Bruxism Metrics: Empirical Definition of Minimal Ecological Momentary Assessment Requirements

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
A pooled analysis of 327 participants and more than 32 000 EMA reports identified the minimum monitoring burden required for reliable awake bruxism assessment. Four of five core behaviours reached stable estimates after 3 monitoring days, while grinding stabilized after 2 days.

Automating WMA Construction Planning: A Physics-aware Framework

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC)
The Dutch road construction industry is transitioning from hot mix asphalt (HMA) to more eco-friendly warm mix asphalt (WMA). While WMA offers clear environmental benefits, its distinct material properties, particularly the compactability, demand different construction practices.
