    Författare :Abdullah Khan; Nicole Kringos; Per Redelius; Andreas Loizos; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :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;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fundamental investigation to improve the quality of cold mix asphalt

    Författare :Abdullah Khan; Nicole Kringos; Per Redelius; Amit Bhasin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bitumen; Cold Asphalt Mixtures; Minerals Aggregates; Surface Free Energy; Sorption; Contact Angle; Bitumen Emulsions; Breaking and Coalescence.; Bitumen; kallblandad asfaltmassa; mineraler aggregat; fri ytenergi; sorption; kontaktvinkel; bitumenemulsion; brytning och blandning.; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

    Sammanfattning : Cold mix asphalt (CMA) emulsion technology could become an attractive option for the road industry as it offers lower startup and equipment installation costs, energy consumption and environmental impact than traditional alternatives. The adhesion between bitumen and aggregates is influenced by diverse parameters, such as changes in surface free energies of the binder and aggregates or the presence of moisture or dust on the surface of aggregates, mixing temperatures, surface textures (including open porosity), nature of the minerals present and their surface chemical composition, as well as additives in the binder phase.

  4. 3. Investigation of asphalt compaction in vision of improving asphalt pavements

    Författare :Ehsan Ghafoori Roozbahany; Manfred N. Partl; Gabriele Tebaldi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cold asphalt pavement joints; asphalt joint laboratory production; IDT joint evaluation; DTT joint evaluation; 4PB joint evaluation; joints FEM analysis. Discrete Element Modeling DEM ; X-ray Computed Tomography CT ; Compaction Flow Test CFT ; Compactability;

    Sammanfattning : Asphalt joints are potentially weakest parts of every pavement. Despite of their importance, reliable tools for measuring their mechanical properties for design and performance assessments are still scarce. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A multiscale approach for predicting freeze-thaw damage in asphalt mixtures

    Författare :Lisa Lövqvist; Nicole Kringos; Romain Balieu; Markus Oeser; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Sammanfattning : Cold and wet climates are a known threat to asphalt pavements, causing both an embrittlement of the material, making it more prone to failure, and increasing the risk of damage due to the presence of moisture in the material and freeze-thaw cycles causing expansion and contraction of the air voids as the moisture inside them freezes and thaws. This damage evolution can lead to an overall decrease of material properties and ultimately showcase itself as raveling, pot holes,and cracks. LÄS MER
