  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. DURABILITY STUDY OF REJUVENATED RAP BINDERS

    University essay from KTH/Kemiteknik

    Author : An Na Lay; [2022]
    Keywords : RAP reclaimed asphalt pavement ; rejuvenator; bitumen; rheology; ageing; RAP; bitumen; föryngringsmedel; reologi; åldring;

    Abstract : När priset på naturtillgångar ökar samt att industrier måste ställa om till en mer hållbar verksamhet innebär detta även en omställning för asfaltsindustrin. Ett sätt för att använda mer återvunnet material i asfaltsindustri är att använda bindemedlet från gammal asfaltsmassa (eng.: reclaimed asphalt pavement, RAP). READ MORE

  4. 3. Determination of thermal conductivity for mastic asphalt by combining previously performed laboratory work and TASEF

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Martin Kruse Lindgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Mastic asphalt; BPGJA-11; thermal conductivity; TASEF; FEM; Timber; Gjutasfalt; BPGJA-11; termisk konduktivitet; TASEF; FEM; Trä;

    Abstract : Mastic asphalt is a material which in Sweden mainly is used as coating for bridges, parking decks, courtyards and terraces. Mastic asphalt is a material built-up by a combination of bitumen (a type of binder), well-graded aggregate (consists of both coarse and fine ballast), filler, sand and sometimes also fine graded macadam.
