  1. 1. Evaluation of Low Temperature Damage in Asphalt Mixtures with Non-Contact Resonance Testing

    Författare :Abiy Bekele; Denis Jelagin; William Buttlar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asphalt concrete; dynamic modulus; non-contact excitation; resonance testing; thermally induced damage; viscoelasticity; Asfaltbetong; beröringsfri excitation; resonansfrekvens; resonansprovning; styvhetsmodul; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Sammanfattning : Thetemperature induceddamage in asphalt mixtureshas always been a major distress that requires a substantialconsiderationin the asphalt industry. One of the most important aspects of studying temperature induceddamage is developing a practical test method for evaluation of the material’s resistanceto it. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Reliability-based Design Procedure for Flexible Pavements

    Författare :Yared Hailegiorgis Dinegdae; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Nils Rydén; William Buttlar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Top-Down fatigue cracking; asphalt mixture morphology; fracture mechanics; response surface; reliability analysis; load resistance factor design; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Load induced top-down fatigue cracking has been recognized recently as a major distress phenomenon in asphalt pavements. This failure mode has been observed in many parts of the world, and in some regions, it was found to be more prevalent and a primary cause of pavements failure. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Development of a Morphology-based Analysis Framework for Asphalt Pavements

    Författare :Ibrahim Onifade; Björn Birgisson; Nicole Kringos; Denis Jelagin; William G. Buttlar; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Morphology; damage; X-ray computed tomography; top-down cracking; fracture; Morfologi; skador; röntgendatortomografi; ’top-down’sprickbildning; fraktur; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The morphology of asphalt mixtures plays a vital role in their properties and behaviour. The work in this thesis is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of the effect of the asphalt morphology on the strength properties and deformation mechanisms for development of morphology-based analysis framework for long-term response prediction.
