Evaluation of Combined Excavation Waste and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Aggregates for Use in Road Bases and Sub-bases
(
OMICS International
, 2014 , Article)
More than 15 million tons of aggregates are imported each year to Qatar from neighbouring countries. Large quantities of waste materials (around 20 million tons/year) from excavation waste, demolition rubble and reclaimed ...
Evaluation of short-term aging protocol for asphalt mixtures
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Asphalt mixtures are subjected to short-term aging during the production, placement, and compaction processes. Proper evaluation of asphalt pavement performance relies on the accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures ...
Recycling of Local Qatar’s Steel Slag and Gravel Deposits in Road Construction
(
OMICS International
, 2014 , Article)
Every year, the State of Qatar generates about 400,000 tons of steel slag and another 500,000 tons of gravel as a result of steel manufacturing and washing sand, respectively. The two materials (by-products) are not fully ...
Implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement analysis in the State of Qatar
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2014 , Article)
The State of Qatar is experiencing tremendous growth in infrastructure including road network and highways. The current methods used in design of asphalt pavements in the State of Qatar are empirical and might not be ...
Modelling of Asphalt's Adhesive Behaviour Using Classification and Regression Tree (CART) Analysis
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
The modification by polymers and nanomaterials can significantly improve different properties of asphalt. However, during the service life, the oxidation affects the constituents of modified asphalt and subsequently results ...
Rheological evaluation of shortand long-term performance for warm mix asphalt (WMA) binders
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives are environmentally friendly and cost-effective products that lower the viscosity of bituminous binders to allow reduction of mixing and compaction temperatures in asphalt mix production. ...
Effect of ageing on asphalt binders in the State of Qatar: a case study
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
Ageing of asphalt binders has a significant impact on the rheological properties of asphalt binders and thus affects the performance of asphalt pavements. The rate of binder ageing is accelerated at high temperatures. This ...
State-of-the-Art Review on Sustainable Design and Construction of Quieter Pavements-Part 2: Factors Affecting Tire-Pavement Noise and Prediction Models
(
MDPI AG
, 2016 , Article Review)
Traffic noise is a combination of noises produced from a number of sources. Of all the traffic noise sources, tire-pavement noise, which is emitted as a result of the interaction of rolling,slipping, or dragging tires and ...
Demonstrating the Worth of Recycled Aggregates - A Case Study from Qatar
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recycled aggregates are widely used in unbound applications in many countries. However, in some areas the materials available may not meet all the requirements of the local specifications. This is the case in Qatar, where ...
Probabilistic analysis of fatigue life for asphalt mixtures using the viscoelastic continuum damage approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
Fatigue cracking is one of the most serious distress modes affecting the serviceability of asphalt pavement structures. The inherent variability of asphaltic materials exhibited in fatigue test results, especially for ...
