  2. 1. Investigations on moisture damage-related behaviour of bituminous materials

    Author : Umaru Bagampadde; Ulf Isacsson; Manfred Partl; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture damage; State-of-the-Art; Stripping; Moisture sensitivity; Bituminous materials; Construction engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis presents results of literature review on classical and contemporary aspects of stripping, as well as experimental investigations on moisture damage as influenced by bituminous materials. Previous research in the area of moisture damage was reviewed and synthesized into a state-of-the-art. READ MORE

  4. 2. On investigation of stripping propensity of bituminous mixtures

    Author : Umaru Bagampadde; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In this study, an experimental programme was designed toestablish a relationship between bituminous mixture constituentmaterial properties and their propensity to moisture induceddamage in form of stripping. Six bitumen types (3 from Ugandaand 3 from Sweden) with presumably varying characteristics wereevaluated basing on rheology and chemistry. READ MORE

  5. 3. Applications of Solid-Phase Microextraction to Chemical Characterization of Materials Used in Road Construction

    Abstract : Environmental and health aspects of road materials have been discussed for a long time, mostly regarding bitumen and bitumen fumes. However, just a few studies on other types of road materials have been reported. READ MORE

  6. 4. Investigation on the self-healing capabilties of asphaltic materials using neutron imaging

    Author : Adrian Markari; Nicole Kringos; Anders Kaestner; Romain Balieu; Lily Poulikakos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Self-healing; bituminous materials; neutron imaging; sample size effect; reconstruction; image processing; volumetric analysis; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : Bitumen acts as a binding agent in asphalt mixtures where it binds the aggregates together. It is known for its potential to heal small cracks and recover its mechanical properties under the right conditions. Though this self-healing property is known, there is currently a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms that drive the process. READ MORE
