Machine learning techniques to estimate the degree of binder activity of reclaimed asphalt pavement
(2022-05)
Article
Open AccessThis paper describes the development of novel/state-of-art computational framework to accurately predict the degree of binder activity of a reclaimed asphalt pavement sample as a percentage of the indirect tensile strength ... -
On the analysis of uniaxial cyclic strain sweep test results to bituminous binders: stiffness-phase angle curve
(2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper discusses the analysis of uniaxial tension–compression cyclic strain sweep test results for the characterisation of bituminous materials. The test results of one bitumen and two mastics, at different oxidative ... -
Análisis de diferentes técnicas de ensayos para la evaluación de la adherencia de las capas bituminosas ultradelgadas (AUTL)
(Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Mezclas Asfálticas (ASEFMA), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyLa creciente utilización de mezclas Ultradelgadas, conocidas generalmente AUTL (Asphalt Ultra-Thin Layer), han llevado a diversas administraciones a preguntarse si los ensayos que actualmente están recogidos dentro de la ... -
Caracterización y evaluación de la ejecución de las capas ultrafinas
(Asociación Española de Fabricantes de Mezclas Asfálticas (ASEFMA), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyLa caracterización de las mezclas ultrafinas (AUTL) debe realizarse considerando el sistema global constituido por la propia mezcla y su adherencia a la capa soporte. Para poder llevar a cabo su caracterización en este ... -
Waste paper ash as an alternative binder to improve the bearing capacity of road subgrades
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThe interest on alternative hydraulic road binders to replace cement is increasing these days aiming at reducing the carbon footprint of road projects. The PaperChain project, an EU funded project under the H2020 programme, ... -
The effect of temperature, rest periods and ageing on the response of bituminous materials in fatigue tests: considerations and proposals on analytical dimensioning model
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessOne of the basic assumptions of analytical dimensioning models of asphalt pavements is failure due to fatigue cracking of the bituminous layers. Furthermore, it is considered that the damaging effects of different traffic ... -
A new proposal to assess shear fatigue resistance of asphalt pavement interfaces
(2021-05)
Article
Open AccessThe degree of adherence between two bituminous layers can be assessed from shear tests carried out at constant displacement speed, which allow the shear strength and stiffness of the interface to be obtained, being usual ... -
Mechanical and environmental behavior of cement mortars containing ladle furnace slag
(2020)
Conference lecture
Open AccessAt present, steel production is mainly done in basic oxygen furnaces (BOF) and electric arc furnaces (EAF) (Pauliuk, S. et al, 2013, Morfeldt, J. et al, 2015). According to the statistics, it is expected that the use of ... -
Environmental impacts of hot, warm, half warm and cold recycled bituminous mixtures
(European Asphalt Pavement Association (EAPA), 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyFor some years, reducing bituminous mix temperatures has been a common trend among asphalt producers because it is a very effective way to reduce energy consumption and atmospheric emissions of asphalt plants, along with ... -
Procedure for the evaluation and comparison of the cracking resistance of bituminous mixtures. Characteristic curve. Fénix diagram
(European Asphalt Pavement Association (EAPA), 2021)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe particularity of the bituminous materials is that their break is ductile and tough. They require a great energy to produce the break since the start (maximum load) until failure. In traditional mechanical tests, only ... -
Evaluation of the rejuvenation of asphalt by means of oil-saturated porous aggregates
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessRoad degradation is an increasing problem for assets managers. Roads deteriorate mainly due to the combination of different factors, such as temperature, climate and traffic loads. This causes the asphalt to age and, ... -
Ladle furnace slag as a partial replacement of Portland cement
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLadle furnace slag (LFS) has been proposed as partial cement replacement due to its similar chemical composition with Portland cement. However, its mineralogical composition needs to be considered due to problems with ...
