Effect of High Content of Waste Tire Rubber and Sulfur on the Aging Behavior of Bitumen

High content rubber modified bitumen (HCRMB) prepared from the high content of waste tire rubber and bitumen has good performance while allowing greater use of the waste tires. However, HCRMB is subject to aging during use, which can affect its performance. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of high content of waste tire...

A comparison between alkali-activated slag/fly ash binders prepared with natural seawater and deionized water

In this research, the effects of natural seawater (SW) on the properties of alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) are studied. AASF prepared with deionized water is set as the reference mixture. The results showed that the use of natural SW resulted in a prolonged setting time and lower heat release, but no obvious impact on the flowability of...

From aircraft tracking data to network delay model: A data-driven approach considering en-route congestion

En-route congestion causes delays in air traffic networks and will become more prominent as air traffic demand will continue to increase yet airspace volume cannot grow. However, most existing studies on flight delay modeling do not consider en-route congestion explicitly. In this study, we propose a new flight delay model, Multi-layer Air...

Experimental comparisons between one-part and normal (two-part) alkali-activated slag binders

One-part alkali-activated slag (AAS) binders are more promising in large-scale constructions because one-part mixing procedure is safer and easier to handle compared to normal two-part method. Thus, this study aims at investigating different properties of one-part AAS binders and control samples prepared using the two-part method. Experimental...
