   Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. LÄS MER

3. 2. Continuous Preventive Bridge Maintenance : Effect of High Pressure Washing on Concrete Bridges

   Författare :Louise Andersson; Johan Silfwerbrand; Anders Selander; Ylva Edwards; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bridge maintenance; preventive maintenance; chloride ingress; high-pressure washing; Concrete Structures; Betongbyggnad;

   Sammanfattning : In Sweden, as in many other countries, preventive maintenance of structures andbridges is considered important. It provides several benefits such as prolonged lifespan or service life, less need for repair, and hopefully reduced costs and lowerenvironmental impact.A large part of Sweden’s bridge stock is getting quite old.
