Styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) is the polymer type most commonly used to manufacture polymer modified binders (PMBs). PMBs may need to be kept in a hot storage tank for an extended period of time because of adverse ...

The issue of moisture damage due to water intrusion in conventional road pavement is crucial due to increasing traffic load and volume, especially in the dry process. Poor workability occurs between the aggregate and ...

Despite the importance of the thermal conductivity (k) to the study of pavement thermal behaviors, it is still a challenging task for engineers to come up with an efficient method for its determination without laborious ...

One of the road tolls at the borderline of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, i.e., Tangerang-Merak toll road, was found in a damaged condition in several locations. The toll’s pavement structure comprises an asphalt ...

Cracks of variable width and types can develop due to various factors like overloading, thermal expansion and contraction, moisture and temperature stresses, poor construction quality, loss of support underneath the slab, ...

Bitumen is prone to deformations and cracking under severe temperatures and under fatigue. To overcome these drawbacks bitumen ismodified by adding various additives. SBS and crumb rubber are some of the conventional ...

Road safety is a vital element of the road’s overall function, which is often neglected in decision-making for road maintenance management. As a result, the safety issues, especially in rural roads, remain without funding ...

Icing on roads in cold regions seriously affects vehicle driving safety. Therefore, this study aims to propose a pavement surface treatment technology with groove-filled elastomer. Through theoretical analysis, the ...

The pavement quality concrete (PQC) is used in the construction of rigid pavements, commonly called concrete pavements. The coarse aggregates (CA) are the major constituents of the PQC mix, which influence the strength ...

Interlocking concrete block pavement has been widely used in place of flexible and rigid pavements owing to its easiness in assembling, replacement and transportation. It also has excellent drainage capacity. Its application ...
