Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessing and Improving the Performance of Grouted MacadamMomtaz M. Othman, Ahmed Ebrahim Abu El-Maaty, Zeinab S. HusseinThere are many road defects appear in flexible pavement layers. Rutting, raveling and cracks are considered the main problems in Egypt. Using grouted macadam system as a surface asphaltic layer (or called Semi-Flexible Pavement (SFP)) has many advantages such as saving the natural asphalt and enhancing the performance against deteriorations. The main scope of this research is to evaluate and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,078 accessesView PDFCite

You can’t speak of a quality of flight today unless it provides increased comfort to all passengers in full safety and relaxation. Regardless of the aircraft design type, a minimum level of comfort is required in the passenger cabin so that they feel safe, comfortable, quiet, plus … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 19 Oct 2017 · 8,318 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDFCite
