  1. 1. Assessment of aggregate structure in porous asphalt using X-ray computed tomography

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Mari Haagenrud Matsson; Malex Love Valdemar Åkerblom; [2023]
    Keywords : Tomography; non-destructive testing; destructive testing; air voids content; aggregate size distribution; porous asphalt;

    Abstract : X-ray computed tomography is a technique that has been successfully utilized to characterize internal microstructure of asphalt mixtures. The city of Linköping (Sweden) developed an action plan to reduce noise; accordingly KTH and VTI developed a method to determine air void content in porous asphalt using x-ray computed tomography and an image processing software called ImageJ.

  3. 2. Investigation of Air Void Structure in Double Layer Porous asphalt based on X-ray Computed Tomography

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Shuchen Gong; [2020]
    Keywords : Tomography; non-destructive testing; destructive testing; air voids content; porous asphalt drilled cores;

    Abstract : The X-ray computed tomography is a technology to investigate air void structure of drilled asphalt cores, which provides a non-destructive alternative to traditional laboratory methods, usually destructive testing.In this work, six in-situ specimens from a double layer porous asphalt pavement in Linköping, Sweden, were taken and analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods of tomography.

  4. 3. Experimental Tests of Pre - placed Aggregate Concrete for Concrete Repairs

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Husseen Hassan; Abdifatah Sahal; [2020]
    Keywords : Shrinkage; Compressive strength; Splitting tensile strength; Freeze-thaw; resistance; Pre-placed aggregate concrete; PREPAC; Slag; Krympning; Tryckhållfasthet; Spräckhållfasthet; Frostbeständighet; Injekteringsbetong; PREPAC; Slagg;

    Abstract : Since a large part of the hydropower structures in Sweden was built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of them are slowly but surely exhibiting deterioration. The hydropower companies are facing big challenges and are consequently investing in effective repairing methods since a hydropower structure failure could pose serious consequences and dangers to people, the environment, and the community.

  5. 4. Evaluation of air entraining behaviour in concrete using computer aided methods on hardened samples

    University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

    Author : Jakub Pawlowicz; [2019]
    Keywords : concrete; air voids; air entraining; AEA; blast furnace slag; BFS; flat-bed scanner; BubbleCounter; traverse method;

    Abstract : Increasing awareness of sustainability in the concrete industry forces structural design and executionto focus on avoiding costly and unpredictable maintenance action, instead paying higher attention todamage prevention by direct actions on early stages of production. One of such approaches, whichdeals with the problem of freezing and thawing deterioration, is intentional air bubble introductionto the concrete mix. READ MORE
