This research presents the implementation of a finite element model analysis for assessing the potential of utilizing alternative fibers for the development of inductive bituminous mixes with lower total weight, higher resistance against corrosion, and sufficient induction heating efficiency. Aluminum fibers are<br/>selected as the metallic...

The ageing of bitumen has a significant impact on the mechanical behavior of asphalt concrete. In this study, Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) tests were utilized to investigate the effect of ageing on the relaxation properties of bituminous materials. PEN 70/100 bitumen films with thickness of 2 mm were exposed to laboratory ageing at various...

Induction assisted chemical hardening (curing) or induction hardening is a novel in situ hardening technique for thermoset modified bituminous materials that maintains most of the advantages of natural chemical hardening while eliminating the possible restrictions of longer curing times at lower temperatures. In particular, induction heating can...

Epoxy modified bitumen (EMB) is a promising technology for long lasting paving materials ensuring higher resistance to rutting, oxygen- and moisture-induced damage. In this paper, an analysis of the chemical reactions that take place during the chemical hardening process (curing) of epoxy modified bitumen<br/>was conducted by means of Fourier...

When oxygen diffuses in a bituminous film, it also reacts, simultaneously, with the constituents of the bitumen and as such it is gradually depleted. This depletion process masks the characteristics of the actual diffusion process and complicates the determination of the diffusion coefficient needed for computation of oxygen concentration and...

Self-healing of bitumen is a property that positively contributes to the sustainability, maintenance requirements and cost effectiveness of asphalt pavements. Ideally one would like to design an asphalt mix with a well-defined healing potential. Although substantial research efforts have been dedicated to the healing mechanism in bitumen,...

Asfalt heeft de aantrekkelijke eigenschap dat het zichzelf kan herstellen na schade. Er is echter tot op heden geen betrouwbare methode om de healingcapaciteit van een asfaltmengsel te bepalen. Bij het healingproces van een discrete scheur spelen twee processen een rol, namelijk het in contact komen van de oppervlakken van de scheur; het...

Trace elements and their concentrations play an important role in both chemical and physical properties of bitumen. Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) has been applied to determine the concentration of trace elements in bitumen. This method requires irradiation of the material with neutrons that transform the elements into...

De interface van een band van een auto en de weg is belangrijk voor de verschillende interacties. In termen van verkeersveiligheid is stroefheid is een belangrijke factor. Voor de weg is dit niet alleen aanvangsstroefheid, maar ook ontwikkeling van stroefheid is belangrijk. Dit geldt ook voor grip van de band. Sinds 2012 zijn bandenleveranciers...

This paper investigates the moisture susceptibility of European asphalt mixtures (SMA) containing reclaimed asphalt (RA) and warm mix (WMA) additives. Test sections of a typical SMA mixture have been laid, from which cylindrical samples were cored and utilized for laboratory testing. Four variants of the SMA mixture were prepared; a control HMA...

Asphalt concrete has the advantageous ability to heal autonomously, however the mechanisms behind this are not fully understood. To increase insight in the healing mechanism, the healing model used in polymer science is adopted. It interprets healing as the sum of wetting and intrinsic healing. The presented work introduces a new test set-up,...

Damage in pavements is known to reduce over time when the material is left to rest, this phenomenon is known as healing. It has been shown that healing is an important influence factor in pavement performance. However, an accepted method to assess the healing capability of a pavement is currently not available. Healing of cracks is assumed to be...

Countermeasures to the ageing of bituminous asphalt binders is a highly important topic, both for service-life extension of asphalt ‘in the field’ and for recycling old pavements (RAP) into new structures with similar functional requirements as the original structure. Usually this is achieved by applying additives that restore the adhesive and...
