Three different emulsion residues, such as SS1HP, HFE90, and SS-1VH (trackless), and a base asphalt binder (PG 64-22) are compared to characterize rheological properties by using DSR test. In order to capture the emulsion properties, different frequencies (from 1 to 100 rad/sec at a 10% constant shear rate) and temperatures (from −45°C to 75°C with 15°C increments) were applied. Then, a master curve for shear modulus was plotted for each emulsion. The transition of the HFE90 emulsion from viscous to elastic behavior occurs at lower temperatures, compared to the other materials. This emulsion is known for performing in a wider temperature range as shown in the results. The trackless emulsion presents an elastic behavior at intermediate temperatures. This product is known as having very fast setting and high resistance to shear stresses. The trackless emulsion presents the highest viscous and elastic modulus, followed by the PG 64-22 binder, SS1HP, and HFE90 emulsion. Shear strength test results show a behavior between trackless emulsion and SS1HP similar to the frequency sweep test results performed by DSR.

This paper provides a performance comparison of mechanistic laboratory and field rutting performance of four asphalt concrete mixes constructed in 1996 at a Strategic Highway Research Program SPS-9A test site located in Saskatchewan. The asphalt mixes included two Saskatchewan Type 70 Marshall mixes and two coarse graded Superpave™ mixes and employed 150–200A and 200–300A penetration grade asphalt cement binders. The triaxial frequency sweep characterization determined that the Superpave™ mix yielded improved mechanistic structural constitutive properties when compared to the Saskatchewan Type 70 mix. In addition, improved mechanistic structural properties were observed with the mixes employing 150–200A (PG 58-28) asphalt binder relative to the 200–300A (PG 52-34) asphalt binder, particularly the Saskatchewan Type 70 mix. The 10-year rutting performance of the Radisson SPS-9A test site was evaluated and the field rutting results concurred with the triaxial frequency sweep test results. The triaxial frequency sweep characterization employed in this study appears to adequately rank asphalt mixes with respect to field rutting performance.

The aim of this study was to characterize the chemical, molecular, and rheological properties of different asphalt emulsions including a newly introduced tire-rubber modified asphalt emulsion (CRS-2TR). Three emulsions (CRS-2TR, CRS-2P, and CRS-2) and one asphalt rubber binder (AC20-5TR) were evaluated in this study. The superpave performance grade (PG), surface performance grade (SPG), and the multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test were conducted to evaluate the rheological properties of the binder residues. Evaluation of the differences in the functional groups, molecular weight distribution, and chemical composition of the asphalt binder residues was conducted using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-pressure gel permeation chromatography (HP-GPC), and saturates, aromatics, resins and asphaltenes (SARA) fractionation, respectively. The chemical and molecular characterization test results indicated that the tire-rubber modified emulsion had lower carbonyl indices and colloidal instability indices as compared to the other conventional emulsions, indicating a higher resistance to aging. On the other hand, the rheological test results showed that the performance of CRS-2TR was comparable to CRS-2P and was expected to perform better than CRS-2. In addition, the moisture susceptibility of the binder residues from the bitumen bond strength (BBS) test showed that CRS-2TR had a greater pull-off tensile strength in both dry and wet conditions as compared to CRS-2 and had statistically equal performance results as compared to CRS-2P.

Scatter in test results is common for relatively brittle materials such as ceramic matrix composites. The scatter may come from differences in material processing conditions, specimen machining/handling and from variations in test parameters for nominally the same test material. Large scatter in test results makes material modeling difficult. In the past, master curve concepts have been proposed to reduce scatter in tensile data and to interpret fatigue/creep results. In this paper, one such concept is examined in detail by applying it to the recent tensile test results of a SiC/SiC composite. It was found that the way to construct master curves did not apply to the CMC studied and thus a new master curve was developed to better represent the tensile data. In addition, the test data were analysed statistically based on the new master curve.

This study has investigated the impact of graphene oxide (GO) in enhancing the performance properties of an asphalt binder. The control asphalt binder (60/70 PEN) was blended with GO in contents of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, and 2.5%. The permanent deformation behavior of the modified asphalt binders was evaluated based on the zero shear viscosity (ZSV) parameter through a steady shear test approach. Superpave fatigue test and the linear amplitude sweep (LAS) method were used to evaluate the fatigue behavior of the binders. A bending beam rheometer (BBR) test was conducted to evaluate the low-temperature cracking behavior. Furthermore, the storage stability of the binders was investigated using a separation test. The results of the ZSV test showed that GO considerably enhanced the steady shear viscosity and ZSV value, showing a significant contribution of the GO to the deformation resistance; moreover, GO modification changed the asphalt binder’s behavior from Newtonian to shear-thinning flow. A notable improvement in fatigue life was observed with the addition of GO to the binder based on the LAS test results and Superpave fatigue parameter. The BBR test results revealed that compared to the control asphalt, the GO-modified binders showed lower creep stiffness (S) and higher creep rate (m-value), indicating increased cracking resistance at low temperatures. Finally, the GO-modified asphalt binders exhibited good storage stability under high temperatures.

Chip seal bleeding is influenced by many factors, including design inputs, material properties, and project-specific conditions. It reduces the surface texture of the pavement and thus compromises the safety of the traveling public. Even though factors that bring about premature bleeding are known, currently, no laboratory test methods for evaluating bleeding in chip seals have been specified. The objective of this paper is to present the results of an investigation of the influence factors of asphalt emulsion residue properties measured by the ASTM D7405 multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test, as well as other factors related to chip seal bleeding resistance as measured by the modified loaded wheel test (MLWT). In this study, the MSCR test was used as a tool for evaluating the performance of asphalt emulsions because it has been identified as a potential test related to bleeding in the field. In addition, MLWT was selected as a tool for evaluating chip seal bleeding performance in the laboratory. The results of the MLWT showed that the emulsion application rate (EAR), aggregate gradation, and emulsion properties were significant factors affecting bleeding. The MSCR test was found to be a promising tool for the performance evaluation of asphalt emulsion residue, as the test was able to differentiate between emulsion chemistries and modifications in terms of sensitivity to both temperature and stress. In relation to chip seal bleeding resistance, only the creep compliance (Jnr) obtained from the MSCR test results was identified as a significant property affecting potential for bleeding.

Abstract Introduction: Muscle fatigue can be defined as a decrease in the performance of the neuromuscular system in generating force. This situation is considered a complex physiological process involving various body systems, in order to avoid irreversible damage or even cell death. Objective: The aim of this study was to measure muscle strength in order to assess the level of fatigue among footwear industry workers, and to determine a possible correlation between muscle strength and the perception of reported fatigue. Materials and Methods: The study included 32 male workers from the footwear industry with a mean age of 34.63 ± 11.98 years. The workers performed the handgrip strength test using a handheld dynamometer, and completed the Bipolar Fatigue Questionnaire. Results: The mean result of strength testing was 23.1 ± 8.3 kgf, and the mean score of the fatigue questionnaire was 2.28 ± 0.93 points. However, a low correlation was observed between the results of the fatigue questionnaire and the strength test results. Conclusion: The grip strength results of the footwear workers were below the values for the general Brazilian population, a fact that may indicate potential muscle fatigue. However, a low correlation with the perception of fatigue was indicated by the questionnaire.

Rotational Viscosity

The pavement structure tends to shrink under low temperature conditions and cracks will appear upon crossing threshold binder stiffness. Decreasing the binder viscosity at such low temperatures, by introducing additional oil fraction (aromatics and saturates) in asphalt colloidal systems, may result in improved resistance to thermal cracking. A single multi-grade engine oil (5W30) was used in this study to analyze the rheological properties imparted to binders. Rotational Viscosity (RV) test revealed that after Rolling Thin Film Oven (RTFO) aging, fresh oil and waste oil have a similar effect on decreasing the viscosity of binder and construction temperatures, reducing them by 5~8 °C. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) test results showed an abrupt increase of carbonyl concertation when fresh engine oil was used for rejuvenation while waste engine oil was less susceptible to oxidative aging. Dynamic analysis of modified binders proved that engine oil has better thermal cracking resistance but relaxation ability of binders and rutting resistance was impaired. Filtered waste engine oil resulted in a 35% decrement in the stiffness of binder compared to virgin asphalt after short term aging but upper Performance Grade (PG) was compromised by 1~3 °C with 2.5% oil inclusion. Unfiltered waste engine oil proved to have the least overall performance compared to fresh and filtered waste engine oil.

Dynamic shear test and creep shear test were employed to investigate the dynamic properties of various fiber modified asphalt binders with the fiber content of 1.0%. The test results indicate that complex shear modulus of asphalt binders containing fibers are increased while the phase angles are decreased greatly, which implies that the asphalt binder is reinforced by the addition of fibers and the elastic property of asphalt binder is improved significantly, especially at high frequency levels. The total strain during loading period and the residual strain after the creep shear test of asphalt binders are reduced greatly by the addition of fibers. Furthermore, the creep modulus of fiber modified asphalt binders is increased and the development rate versus loading time of creep modulus is decreased.
