As a substantial source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption, the road construction domain has to bring a contribution to the reduction of the environmental impacts. Indeed, an important part of the energy consumption and consequently e ...
Bitumen is a complex viscoelastic material used as a binder in applications ranging from road paving to waterproof membranes for roofing [1]. In such applications, bitumen is often blended with a polymer in order to improve its elasticity. The resulting po ...
By decreasing the mixing and laying temperatures, warm mix asphalts (WMA) allow a reduction of the energy consumption as well as the emissions, thus contributing to the sustainable development. However researches are necessary for these asphalt mixtures to ...
Due to the viscoelastic properties of bituminous concrete, temperature changes result in significant mechanical effects. This paper proposes a method to assess, first, the intrinsic thermophysical parameters (thermal conductivity and heat capacity) of a bi ...
Controlling the static and dynamic properties of sports equipment has since long been of great concern in the sports engineering industry. More recently there has been interest in better understanding and improving the interplay between such properties and ...
With the current concerns about sustainable development and greenhouse gas emissions in various fields, the road domain has also to contribute. Indeed, asphalt mixture production is a very important energy consuming phase in order to heat the aggregates an ...
The asphalt rubber blends design is an empirical procedure and is quite sensitive to the variability of the components properties. A better understanding of the physical phenomenon involved during the curing process is a prerequisite step to propose a rati ...
In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. These solicitations affect the bituminous layers that can quickly attain their permanent deformation limit resistance. This phenomenon can lead ...
This paper presents a finite element analysis modeling of rutting. The behaviors of the asphalt concrete is described using an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive relation, while an elastoplastic constitutive relation is used for the lower layers. The model a ...
Asphalt rubber is a modified binder widely used in pavement construction. Composition design methods of asphalt rubber blends are exclusively empiric and rely on the selection of the optimal combination of parameters after a long experimental program. The ...
