Advanced Testing and Characterization of Bituminous Materials By Andreas Loizos, Manfred N. Partl, Tom Scarpas, Imad L. Al-qadi * Publisher: CRC * Number Of Pages: 1336 * Publication Date: 2009-05-14 * ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415558549 * ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415558549 Product Description A demonstration that modern experimental material characterization techniques, sophisticated constitutive modeling, and innovative design provide appropriate tools for pavement performance prediction. From the Back Cover Bituminous materials are used to build durable roads that sustain diverse environmental conditions. However, due to their complexity and a global shortage of these materials, their design and technical development present several challenges. Advanced Testing and Characterisation of Bituminous Materials focuses on fundamental and performance testing of binders and asphaltic mixtures. Issues addressed in the volume include: - Evaluation of binder properties with respect to durability relevant to distress accumulationand application - Testing and modelling the influence of climate and ageing effects on performance - Characterization and design of bituminous mixtures with respect to performance - Evaluation of fundamental laboratory test methods and models for pavement performance prediction - Laboratory compaction methods and models with respect to field compaction - Test methods for the assessment of the structural behaviour and performance of pavements - Investigation of pavement performance prediction and evaluation sections - Testing, mix design and evaluation of recycled bituminous road materials - Synthesis of international coordinated research initiatives for the development of performance related test methods and specifications Advanced Testing and Characterisation of Bituminous Materials demonstrates that modern experimental material characterization techniques, sophisticated constitutive modeling, and innovative design provide appropriate tools for pavement performance prediction. The book is of interest to academics and engineers in pavement and road engineering.
