Filter by Author5 report(s) found for Rouzbeh Ghabchi 1 - 5 of 5 Fibers are used in an asphalt mix to improve its durability and resistance against distresses, such as rutting and cracking. Consequently, accurate rheological and performance characterization of asphalt binders and mixes containing fibers is of vital importance. With increased concerns over the environmental... In recent years, major initiatives have been taken to replace non-renewable materials with environmentally friendly and sustainable ones. The present study was undertaken to apply a scalable process for laboratory production of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and to evaluate the feasibility of using the produced... Pavements in cold regions of the United States undergo significant accumulation of snow and ice on their surfaces during the extended winter season, leading to reduced skid resistance and increased traffic crashes. Deicers, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride, have been... Several types of tack coats are used in South Dakota for asphalt pavement construction projects. This study was conducted to determine the effects of application rate, surface type, texture, moisture, and freeze-thaw on the early-age performance of three tack coat emulsions applied on four surface types... Moisture-induced damage (stripping) is a major distress in asphalt pavements. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of chemical Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Anti-Stripping Agent (ASA), and hydrated lime on moisture-induced damage potential of asphalt... |
