  1. 1. Laboratory Investigation of Quarry Fines for Use in the Construction Industry

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Antonia Filippidi; [2022]
    Keywords : quarry fines; water content; optimum moisture content; maximum dry density; bearing capacity;

    Abstract : Quarry fines are by-products of the aggregate extraction and productionprocesses. Because such fine material cannot be marketed, it becomes aburden for the aggregate industry, resulting in stockpiles of financiallyunexploited material. READ MORE

  3. 2. PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME : Design of pavement

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Arash Borhani Khomami; Jonas Adel Pour; [2020]
    Keywords : PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME; PMS Objekt vs ERAPAVE-ME;

    Abstract : There are two types of superstructures in superstructure design, rigid and flexible. Rigid superstructures have higher load-bearing capacity than flexible superstructures. In Sweden, rigid superstructures are used for slow and heavy traffic roads such as bus stations and parking lots. READ MORE

  4. 3. Implementation of multiple design procedures into MULTI-PAVE.

    University essay from KTH/Transportvetenskap

    Author : Nahusenay K Gebrehiwot; [2011]
    Keywords : MULTI-PAVE; AASHTO Flexible; AASHTO Rigid; PMSObject; ;

    Abstract : One particular challenge in pavement design is comparing the results of the different design methods. Some methods, such as the AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) Flexible design method and the AASHTO Rigid method were developed in the US, and use US units, as well as typical design loads and specifications.

  5. 4. Implementation of the AASHTO pavement design procedures into MULTI-PAVE.

    University essay from KTH/Transportvetenskap

    Author : Abiy Bekele; [2011]
    Keywords : AASHTO Flexible Pavement Design; AASHTO Rigid Pavement Design; AASHTO Road Test; MULTI-PAVE;

    Abstract : This thesis implements the empirical pavement design procedures for flexible as well as rigid pavement by American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) into two MATLAB modules of MULTI-PAVE. MULTI-PAVE was developed as a teaching tool that performs pavement thickness design for multiple design procedures using a common input file and a common output format. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards a Uniform Fracture Mechanics-Based Framework for Flexible Pavement Design

    University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

    Author : Prabir Das; [2009]
    Keywords : Crack growth; Low temperature cracking; Fracture mechanics; Dissipated creep strain energy; Asphalt pavements; Energy Ratio;

    Abstract : Cracking is an important potential failure mechanism for pavement structures. By combining a strain energy-based fracture criterion with conventional fracture mechanics based on the Energy Ratio (ER) concept, crack growth in asphalt can be investigated, and a low temperature Thermal Cracking model (TCMODEL) can be introduced.
