Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating permanent deformation in asphalt rubber mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of asphalt rubber mixtures (with dense and gap-graded aggregate gradation) with the conventional dense graded mixture most used in Brazil, and found that the use of the asphalt rubber binder improves significantly the resistance to rutting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete in compression
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental program has been carried out to evaluate the performance of plain concrete and fiber-reinforced concrete under compressive fatigue loading, and the correlation between the secondary creep rate and the fatigue life was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Asphalt Pavement Temperature with a Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D finite element (FE) model was developed to calculate the temperature of a pavement located in northeast Portugal, where seven thermocouples were installed in the asphalt concrete layers at seven different depths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Main flexible pavement and mix design methods in Europe and challenges for the development of an European method
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief historical overview of pavement design methods is presented, highlighting early limitations of old empirical methods, and the main challenges for the development of a European pavement design method are presented as well as the recent research developments that can be used for that method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of lignin biopolymer from industrial waste as bitumen extender for asphalt mixtures
TL;DR: In this article, the use of industrial waste containing lignin as a bitumen extender in the production of asphalt mixtures has been investigated, and the results showed that it is appropriate to use this industrial waste as an extender for road pavement.
