In order to evaluate and improve the deformation behavior of cement–emulsified asphalt binder (CA) in cement–emulsified asphalt mixture, this study investigated the reinforcement of small additions of fibers (2%, 4%, and 6% addition by ma...
Flax fiber-reinforced plastics have an innate eco-friendly nature due to the fiber reinforcement and reduced energy requirements in fabrication when compared to current fiber reinforced composite materials. They possess a complex time-dependent mater...
The performance of an asphalt mixture is significantly affected by the properties of its asphalt mortar, which consists of an asphalt binder, mineral fillers, fine aggregates and air voids. The aim of this work was to evaluate the correlations betwee...
Effective approaches are required to be developed to solve the poor compatibility and thermal stability problems of crumb rubber-modified asphalt (CRMA). This study focuses on a method called microwave activation. However, seldom researches pay atten...
To analyse the differences in the high-temperature performance of twin-screw desulphurised rubber powder/undesulphurised rubber powder composite SBS-modified asphalt and its mixes. This paper analyses the performance differences between desulphurised...
To characterize the complex creep behavior of steel slag–asphalt mixture influenced by both stress and temperature, predictive models employing Back Propagation (BP) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks are described and compared i...
The research on nano titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2)-modified asphalt has received increasing attention. However, further studies are required in order to ascertain the influence of the phenomenon under discussion on the rheological characteristics and...
The development of a 3D-Printed Load Cell (PLC) was studied using a nanocarbon composite strain sensor (NCSS) and a 3D printing process. The miniature load cell was fabricated using a low-cost LCD-based 3D printer with UV resin. The NCSS composed of...
This research evaluates the rheological and mechanical properties of polymer- and nanomaterials-modified bitumen by incorporating nanosilica (NSA), nanoclay (NCY), and Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) at 5% by weight of the bitumen. The samples w...
The rheological stress recovery (RSR) method was proposed to obtain measurements of in-situ stress. Rock stress can be evaluated by monitoring the recovery process of stress sensors embedded in rock mass. In order to achieve this application, a novel...
China’s offshore heavy oil resources are abundant but underutilized. Circulating steam stimulation enhances production while increasing casing failure risks in thermal recovery wells. Accurately assessing casing performance after repeated therm...
The present paper investigates the effects of simultaneous mechanical foaming using water and fluxing with a bio-derived agent on the properties of three distinct asphalt binders: 50/70 paving-grade bitumen, 45/80–55 polymer-modified bitumen, a...
Rutting is a predominant distress in asphalt pavements, particularly in hot climatic regions. This study systematically investigated the high-temperature performance of hot mix asphalt modified with five nanomaterials, namely, nano-silica (NS), nano-...
Due to high temperatures and repeated load, asphalt pavements commonly experience rutting distress, a challenge that can be considerably reduced by modifying the binder components. This research focused on evaluating the performance of asphalt binder...
Based on attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and principal component analysis (PCA), four kinds of asphalt (two kinds of matrix asphalts, TPC70# and JL70# and two kinds of modified asphalts, SBS-1 and SBS-2)...
With the acceleration of the construction of sponge cities in China, porous asphalt pavement (PA) is has been widely used. High-viscosity asphalt (HVA) is the core material in building PA because it has good rheology properties, which can provide goo...
This study investigates the stiffening phenomena caused by aging and low-dosage Kraft lignin addition on a soft bitumen (PG58S–28)- used in cold climate regions. Through a combination of physico-chemical and rheological analyses, including Four...
The macroscopic resistance of asphalt mixtures to permanent deformation is fundamentally governed by the mechanical properties of the constituent asphalt mortar; however, a unified evaluation system that quantitatively links the energy evolution betw...
Conventional asphalt concrete pavements have deteriorated rapidly due to the current increased traffic and extreme climate impacts. In addition to the upgrading in the construction quality, there is an urgent need to expand the utilization of modifie...
Upward re-mining of coal seams overlying goafs with remnant coal pillar groups is jointly affected by pillar loading, interburden damage, repeated mining disturbance, and goaf water, making the stability evolution and safety boundaries difficult to c...
