Development of a test procedure for water sensitivity of asphalt concrete mixtures

Creator:

Al-Swailmi, Saleh H.

Abstract:

Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested in...

Development of the simplified method to evaluate dynamic mechanical analysis data on asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:

Ab-Wahab, Yunus Bin

Abstract:

Testing of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures using dynamic mechanical analysis is becoming popular with improvements in high-speed computers, precision equipment, and computer software. Researchers are trying to describe the behavior of asphalt binders and asphalt-aggregate mixtures in terms of their time- and temperature-dependent linear viscoelastic behavior. The objectives of...

Dissertation
An economic evaluation of logging road maintenance

Creator:

Feeney, Daniel John

Abstract:

This thesis describes the results of a project conducted to determine the economics of forest road maintenance alternatives between periods of timber harvesting. An open road and a closed road alternative will be compared to the economics of clearcutting an entire area and obliterating the road system until reentry at...
