  1. 11. Towards the measurement of two independent viscoelastic functions using spherical indentation

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Inst.)

    Author : Hassan Mohammad; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Instrumented indentation is a promising testing technique for obtaining the time dependent viscoelastic properties of bitumen and bitumen-based mastics. It offers several advantages: controlling the length scale of measurement and thus could be used in multi-scale modelling of asphalt, the possibility of in-situ tests and the minimal requirements of sample preparation.

  4. 13. Fish oil in Icelandic road constructions. : A case study of bituminous binder mixtures modified with bio-oil.

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Arnar Ágústsson; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis an extensive background study on the use of bio-oil modified binder, used in surface dressings in Iceland, was carried out. Surface dressings, or chip seals, are paved by first spraying out binder and then distributing aggregates over the surface before compaction. READ MORE

    University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologi

    Author : Carolina Liljenström; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The transport sector stands for a significant share of society’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In planning of new road infrastructure it is mainly direct emissions from traffic on the road that is taken into account. READ MORE

  6. 15. The effect of filler type and shape on HMA energy dissipation performance.

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Yohannes Gebremeskel Kiflat; [2013]
    Keywords : Hot mix asphalt; mastic; fillers; compaction energy index; superpave;

    Abstract : Hot mix asphalt pavements require adequate compaction to achieve the required density to resist rutting. The amount of energy required to achieve the optimum degree of compaction depends on the type of gradation, bitumen content, filler type and shape, type of compaction equipment etc. READ MORE
