Influence of recycled limestone filler additions on the mechanical behaviour of commercial premixed hydraulic lime based mortars
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an experimental programme aimed at investigating the use of limestone filler additions to modify the mechanical properties of commercial premixed hydraulic lime based mortars. The influence of adding ... -
Evaluación de la resistencia de mezclas a la fisuración de las capas de rodadura ultrafinas utilizadas en la conservación de pavimentos
(2019-09)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLas capas de rodadura ultrafinas tienen por objeto proporcionar y/o restaurar las propiedades superficiales de los firmes de carreteras, y constituyen una buena solución de mantenimiento para aquellos firmes que no han ... -
Innovation in mechanical characterization of bituminous mixtures and application to the modelling of asphaltic pavements’ behaviour
(World Road Association (PIARC), 2019)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyModelling of mechanical behaviour of asphalt pavements has been fundamentally based on bituminous materials’ fatigue cracking resistance. Analytical softwares allow estimating stresses that are generated by traffic and ... -
Classification and design of bituminous mixtures based on the variation of their strength and toughness with temperature: Fenix stress-strain diagram
(World Road Association (PIARC), 2019)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe trend in road construction is to establish specifications based on functional and structural performance of the pavement layers. This trend gives construction companies more freedom to design and improve their products, ... -
Alternative secondary raw materials for road construction based on pulp and paper industry reject: paperChain project
(World Road Association (PIARC), 2019)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyEurope is the second world producer of pulp and paper, manufacturing 130 million tonnes in 2014 and representing 25% of world production. The EU pulp and paper manufacturing and converting industries generate an annual ... -

Load aggressiveness on different pavement structures due to the weight increase of heavy vehicles from 40 tonnes to 44 tonnes
(2019-09)
Article
Open AccessThe load capacity of goods vehicles is a critical variable in calculating transport costs. In Europe, the Council Directive 96/53/EC establishes the maximum weight and dimensions of goods vehicles in international traffic ... -
Effect of aggregate type on the fatigue durability of asphalt mixtures
(Elsevier, 2019-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe effect of aggregate type on the fatigue behaviour of asphalt mixtures is an important variable for ensuring greater durability of pavements over time. This study presents the main results of an assessment of the effect ... -
Cracking in asphalt materials
(Springer, 2018)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter provides a comprehensive review of both laboratory characterization and modelling of bulk material fracture in asphalt mixtures. For the purpose of organization, this chapter is divided into a section on ... -
Effects of pre-wetting aggregate on the properties of mortars made with recycled concrete and lightweight aggregates
(2019-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper examines the suitability of partially replacing natural aggregate, sand, (NA) with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) or lightweight aggregate (LWA) in mortars, under the hypothesis that pre-wetting aggregates ... -
Labeling strategy for evaluating the performance of thin asphalt wearing courses
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-04)
Article
Open AccessTraditional design procedures of asphalt mixtures are based on volumetric parameters and the compliance with the mechanical performance, while functional properties receive less attention. Additionally, even though the ... -
Evaluating the role of aggregate gradation on cracking performance of asphalt concrete for thin overlays
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-02)
Article
Open AccessThin asphalt concrete overlays are a maintenance technique that mainly restore the functional properties of pavements. One of the main issues in thin overlays is reflective cracking that can cause early deterioration and ...
