Assessment of linear and nonlinear viscoelastic responses of warm-mix asphalt binders
Sadeq, M.; Masad, E.; Al-Khalid, H.; Sirin, O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2015 , Conference Paper)Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology is widely used in the paving industry due to its impact on reduction of asphalt mixing and compaction temperatures. Characterisation of WMA in the past had focused on evaluating the linear ... -
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
Ohiduzzaman, M.; Sirin, O.; Kassem, E. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2017 , Conference Paper)Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ... -
Characterisation of air voids in w-fam samples using x-ray ct imaging
Sadeq M.; Masad E.A.; Al-Khalid H.; Sirin O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)This study documents the use of high-resolution X-Ray Computed Tomography to characterise air void distribution in Fine Aggregate Mixtures (FAM) prepared using Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives (W-FAM). Specimens were imaged ... -
Characterisation of fatigue resistance of alternative pavement design for the state of Qatar
Sadek, H.; Al-Khalid, H.; Masad, E.; Sirin, O.; Hassan, K. ( Taylor and Francis - Balkema , 2014 , Conference Paper)Asphalt mixtures have been designed in the past in the State of Qatar to safeguard against permanent deformation associated with high temperatures. These mixtures are typically designed to have low content of unmodified ... -
Effect of Aging on Viscoelastic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
Sirin O.; Paul D.K.; Khan M.S.; Kassem E.; Darabi M.K. ( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Article)This study presents a comprehensive laboratory evaluation and statistical analysis of the effect of aging on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. Asphalt mixtures were subjected to different short- and long-term ... -
Effect of Pavement Surface Aging on Tire-Pavement Noise: A Case Study in the State of Qatar
Sirin O.; Ohiduzzaman M.; Kassem E. ( EDP Sciences , 2018 , Conference Paper)The acoustical performance of asphalt pavements changes with time due to combined effects of environmental conditions and various distresses induced by repeated and heavy traffic. This study examined the changes in the ... -
Evaluation of Noise Performance of Multi-Lane Highways in the State of Qatar
Sirin O.; Ohiduzzaman M.; Kassem E. ( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Conference Paper)In recent years, a growing number of people are complaining to transportation authorities for the traffic noise as a result of increased traffic volume on the highways. Therefore, transportation authorities are actively ... -
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
Kassem E.; Ohiduzzaman M.; Sirin O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ... -
Fatigue characterisation of full-scale pavements using viscoelastic continuum damage approach for qatar
Sadek, H.; Masad, E.; Al-Khalid, H.; Sirin, O. ( CRC Press/Balkema , 2015 , Conference Paper)The population and economy in Qatar have been expanding significantly in the past six years.
