6. Life Cycle Assessment of Asphalt Pavements including the Feedstock Energy and Asphalt Additives
Sammanfattning : Roads are assets to the society and an integral component in the development of a nation’s infrastructure. To build and maintain roads; considerable amounts of materials are required which consume quite an amount of electrical and thermal energy for production, processing and laying. LÄS MER
7. Life Cycle Assessment of Asphalt Roads : Decision Support at the Project Level
Sammanfattning : Transport infrastructures such as roads are assets for the society as they not only ensure mobility but also strengthen society’s economy. Considerable amount of energy and materials, that include bitumen, aggregates and asphalt, are required to build and maintain roads. LÄS MER
8. The Future of Smart Road Infrastructure : A Case Study for the eRoad
Sammanfattning : In the future, physical roads will not only serve for the mobility of the vehicles but also have the capability of enabling different smart functionalities, such as car2road communication, energy harvesting or dynamic charging of electrical vehicles. To ensure the sustainability of these advances, the environmental, economic and social costs for the road infrastructure itself should not offset its possible advances. LÄS MER
9. Ageing of Asphalt Mixtures : Micro-scale and mixture morphology investigation
Sammanfattning : There are many variables that affect the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures with time, among which age hardening may be considered one of the important ones. Age hardening of asphalt mixtures is an irreversible process, which contributes to a reduction of the durability of pavements and eventually increases the maintenance cost. LÄS MER
10. Thermally Induced Fracture Performance of Asphalt Mixtures
Sammanfattning : A major distress mode in asphalt pavements is low temperature cracking, which results from the contraction and expansion of the asphalt pavement under extreme temperature changes. The potential for low temperature cracking is an interplay between the environment, the road structure and importantly the properties of the asphalt mixture. LÄS MER
