  2. 1. Gradation-Based Framework for Asphalt Mixtures

    Author : Bernardita Francisca Lira Miranda; Björn Birgisson; Terhi Pellinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asphalt; aggregate gradation; packing theory; asphalt microstructure; porosity; film thickness; rutting; moisture damage.; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

    Abstract : Asphalt mixture microstructure is formed by aggregates, bitumen binder and air voids. Aggregates make for up to 90% of the mixtures volume and the structure formed by them will depend mostly on their size distribution and shape. READ MORE

  4. 2. Investigations of binder rejuvenation related to asphalt recycling

    Author : Robert Karlsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : bitumen; rejuvenator; diffusion; ageing; aging; asphalt recycling; FTIR-ATR; RAP; structural stability; Hansen solubility parameters;

    Abstract : Investigations described in this doctoral thesis concernmaterial behaviour related to asphalt recycling. More indetail, the thesis describes development and application ofmethods for characterisation of the rejuvenation process, inwhich old and new binders are mixed. READ MORE

    Abstract : Luftburna partiklar (PM) är ett problem för människans hälsa, där flertalet samband mellan negativa hälsoeffekter finns mellan luftföroreningar finns, bland annat för respiratoriska sjukdomar, lungcancer och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar med flera. I länder där dubbdäck används, till exempel Sverige, Finland och Norge, och sandning av vägar och gator genomförs vintertid för att säkerställa god friktion kommer en betydande andel av partiklarna från vägslitage och nedkrossning av sand vilket bidrar till PM10.

    Keywords : Bitumen; Cold Asphalt Mixtures; Minerals Aggregates; Surface Free Energy; Sorption; Contact Angle; Bitumen Emulsions; Breaking and Coalescence; Emulsifiers; Adhesion Promoters.; Bitumen; kallblandad asfalt; mineraler aggregat; fri ytenergi; sorption; kontaktvinkel; Bitumenemulsioner; brytning och koalescensen; emulgatorer; adhesionsegenskaper; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : The environmental, social and economic sustainability of our infrastructure network is clearly of paramount importance to the road-engineering sector as well to society at large. Sustainable road materials and reduced transport of those materials therefore play a significant role. READ MORE

  7. 5. Life Cycle Assessment of Asphalt Pavements including the Feedstock Energy and Asphalt Additives
