Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCING ASPHALT RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR AND AGING SUSCEPTIBILITY USING BIO-CHAR AND NANO-CLAYRenaldo C. Walters, Elham H. Fini, Taher Abu-LebdehThe life expectancy of Asphalt Binder (AB) has been negatively impacted by the harsh bombardment of UV rays. UV rays cause asphalt to oxidize faster, which results in deterioration of asphalt rheological characteristics that can lead to pavement distresses. This study investigates the impact of bio-char and nano-clay of asphalt rheological properties. Two nano scale materials were used for this … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 24 Mar 2014 · 10,525 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF RUBBERIZED GYPSUM BOARDTaher Abu-Lebdeh, Ellie Fini, Ashraf FadielThe disposal of scrap tires is a challenging task and hence an innovative solution to meet these challenges is needed. Extensive work has been done on the utilization of waste tires in a variety of applications in asphalt pavements and concrete. However, previous investigations focus only on the mechanical properties of the rubberized materials, but few on the thermal performance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,775 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of organic wax on bitumen characteristicsArafat Suleiman Yero, Mohd Rosli HaininStatement problem: The study investigated effect of organic wax Sasobit wax (S) on the characteristics of bitumen 80/100-penetration grade. The consistency of bitumen is measure of its susceptibility to temperature change and resistance to flow which affects ability and resistance to deformation of the mixture. Approach: This study reviewed the bitumen modification process in relation to Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,018 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of Criteria for Slab Compaction of Laboratory Roller Compactor (Turamesin)R. Muniandy, F.M. Jakarni, S. Hassim, A.R. MahmudLaboratory experiments should simulate to a high degree the conditions in the field, especially in term of compaction procedures. Presently available laboratory compaction methods do not seem to be able to produce specimens that can truly represent the mixtures as it exists in the field, especially for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mixtures. SMA is highly dependent on the method of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 7,118 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,911 accessesView PDF Cite
