A framework for characterizing RAP clustering in asphalt concrete mixtures

André-Gilles Dumont, Michel Pittet, Sara Bressi, Manfred Partl

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is commonly used in asphalt for road rehabilitation or new constructions. Nevertheless, some physical and chemical phenomena that occur during production, laying and compaction of mixtures containing RAP are not yet complete ...

Design methodology for low power RF LNA based on the figure of merit and the inversion coefficient

Christian Enz

The complexity of radiofrequency circuit design comes from the large number of parameters to be adjusted. Constant node shrink in CMOS process and variation of technology skills significantly contribute to this complexity. The paper reports on a reliable a ...

Analytical modeling of mixed-Mode bending behavior of asymmetric adhesively bonded pultruded GFRP joints

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Moslem Shahverdi

This paper presents a semi-analytical methodology for the fracture mechanics assessment of asymmetric adhesively bonded composite joints. The method is based on the classical lamination theory, the simple beam theory and the extended global method. Experim ...

Properties of mortars produced with reactivated cementitious materials

Ricardo Javier Serpell Carriquiry

The production of reactivated cementitious materials is an option for the recycling of hydrated-cement-rich fines discarded during recycled aggregate production. Reactivation is based on a thermal process where calcium silicate hydrates present in the fine ...

Seismic Behaviour and Design of Mixed RC-URM Wall Structures

Alessandro Paparo

In several countries of central Europe, many modern residential buildings are braced by reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls coupled with RC slabs. Such mixed constructions, in fact, behave better under seismic loading than buildin ...

Automated optimization of photonic crystal slab cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Momchil Minkov

Thanks to their high quality factor, combined to the smallest modal volume, defect-cavities in photonic crystal slabs represent a promising, versatile tool for fundamental studies and applications in photonics. In paricular, the L3, H0, and H1 defects are ...

Liquid-Quench Sampling System for the Analysis of Gas Streams from Biomass Gasification Processes. Part 1: Sampling Noncondensable Compounds

Christian Ludwig, Tilman J. Schildhauer

In biomass gasification plants and related research units, on-line analysis of noncondensable compounds (H-2, CO, CO2, CH4, and light hydrocarbons) and condensable compounds (water, tars, etc.) is desired. Long-duration on-line measurements are often a cha ...

Design of experiment approach applied to reducing and oxidizing tolerance of anode supported solid oxide fuel cell. Part I: Microstructure optimization

Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Antonin Faes, Jean-Marie Fuerbringer, Driss Mohamedi

The main drawback of Ni/YSZ anode supports for solid oxide fuel cell application is their low tolerance to reducing and oxidizing (RedOx) atmosphere changes, owing to the Ni/NiO volume variation. This work describes a structured approach based on design of ...
