Journal ArticleDOI
Failure Mechanism of Foamed Concrete Made with/without Additives and Lightweight Aggregate
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adding mineral admixtures to foamed concrete has been evaluated under compressive and tensile loading using different techniques, including Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Video Gauge technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of rubberized cement bound aggregate mixtures using indirect tensile testing and fractal analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile properties of virgin and rubberized granular mixtures were investigated using indirect tensile testing with lateral displacement measurements, nondestructive resonant frequency testing, X-ray CT and quantitative assessment for cracking pattern using fractal analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel performance-based technique for predicting maintenance strategy of bitumen stabilised ballast
TL;DR: In this article, a protocol for the application of bitumen stabilised ballast (BSB) technology and its associated maintenance strategy is defined, and an integrated model, based on laboratory tests, combining the evolution of track irregularities and ballast contamination with traffic, was used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of high-performance cold bitumen emulsion mixtures for surface courses
TL;DR: In this paper, the incorporation of low-cement content with relatively sustainable byproduct fillers, namely ground-granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash (FA) type 450-S, has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of crack resistance potential of stress absorbing membrane interlayers (SAMIs) under traffic loading
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the crack resistance potential of selected SAMIs subjected to wheel loading and found that the relative benefit of SAMIs was higher when lower SAMI and overlay thicknesses were used.
