MOISTURE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF WARM MIX ASPHALT CONCRETE CONTAINING SYNTHETIC ZEOLITE
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to perform a laboratory testing to determine the moisture sensitivity of an asphalt concrete produced in warm mix asphalt technology (WMA) with the addition of the synthetic zeolite. The usage of this technology may cause potential difficulties like the insufficient mixture compaction or undesirable impact of some WMA additives. One of the design assumptions was the potential adhesion problem. That is why the addition of hydrated lime was also evaluated as anti-stripping agent to WMA with the zeolite.

THE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF CHALCEDONY DUST ON THE REACTION OF ALKALIS WITH REACTIVE AGGREGATE IN CEMENT MORTARS
Chalcedony dust can be used as a mineral additive in cements and concretes. This material can act as a pozzolan and prevent the expansion caused by the alkali-silica reaction. The paper presents the examination of cement...
EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF GRAVITY HEAT PIPE WITH NH3 MEDIUM TO OBTAIN LOW-POTENTIAL GEOTHERMAL HEAT
Earth / water heat pumps using vertical heat exchangers do not require large areas and do not depend on the intensity of the sun’s radiation that strikes the surface of the earth. Vertical heat exchangers work efficientl...
EFFECTS OF SINGLE-LAYER TRUSS DOME GEOMETRY ON CRITICAL LOAD CAPACITY
The purpose of this article is to estimate the effect of geometric imperfections on critical loads. Special attention was paid to trusses subjected to large displacement gradients and vulnerable to stability loss due to...
