Research on Recycling of Phosphorus Tailings Powder in Open-Graded Friction Course Asphalt Concrete

The reuse in high-value materials is one of the important resource utilization approaches of phosphorus tailings. At present, a mature technical system has been formed on the reuse of phosphorus slag in building materials, and silicon fertilizers in the extraction of yellow phosphorus. But there is a lack of research on the high-value reuse...

A Comprehensive Study on the Rejuvenation Efficiency of Compound Rejuvenators for the Characterization of the Bituminous Binder, Mortar, and Mixture

This study aims to comprehensively investigate the rejuvenation efficiency of various self-developed compound rejuvenators on the physical, mechanical, and aging properties of aged bitumen, asphalt mortar, and mixture. The results revealed that the restoration capacity of vacuum distilled-oil rejuvenators on high-and-low temperature performance...

Surface Modification of Steel Slag Aggregate for Engineering Application in Asphalt Mixture

The proper disposal of steel slag has always been a great challenge for the metallurgical industry in China and around the world. In this work, the steel slag aggregate (SSA) was surface pretreated (PSSA) and applied into asphalt mixture. The adhesive behavior between the bitumen and five different types of aggregates (i.e., limestone, diorite,...

Meso Mechanical Analysis of AC Mixture Response

Ongoing research into performance modeling of Asphalt Concrete (AC) mixtures using meso mechanics approaches is being undertaken at Delft University of Technology (TUD). The approach has already been successfully employed for evaluating the long term performance of porous asphalt concrete. The work presented in this paper extends the use for...

Development of an autonomous setup for evaluating self healing capability of asphalt mixtures

It is a well known fact that asphalt mixtures have self healing capabilities. Yet most of the self healing investigations are carried out using complex and time consuming fatigue tests. In order to investigate the self healing capability in a simple and efficient manner, a beam on elastic foundation test setup (BOEF) is proposed in this paper....

Permanent deformation of asphalt mixes

This dissertation describes the results of a research that was conducted on the permanent deformation of asphalt mixtures. Central to this research was the separate characterization of the contribution of the aggregate skeleton and the bituminous mortar towards resistance to permanent deformation. The mixtures considered in this research...
