The disclosure relates to asphalt foam collapse test methods and related apparatus for the measurement and determination of foamed asphalt binder quality, in particular warm-mix asphalt. Various asphalt binder/foam quality indicators can be measured according to the disclosure, such as bubble size distribution, bubble surface area, foam expansion ratio, foam half-life, foam index, as well as normalized parameters related to the same. The disclosed methods and apparatus permit the repeatable characterization and formation of foamed asphalt compositions, enabling the skilled artisan to form foamed asphalt/aggregate compositions of known, repeatable quality. This enhances the ability to form WMA foamed asphalt concrete with controlled and favorable properties selected for the particular environmental conditions (e.g., climate-, weather-, and/or traffic-related) where the concrete is to be used.

Defect acceptability under full-scale fretting fatigue tests for railway axles Foletti, S.; Beretta, S.; Gurer, G. (2016-05-01) This paper presents a new approach based on the application of a multiaxial high cycle fatigue criterion together with the use of El-Haddad correction for investigation of fretting fatigue in railway axles. Stress path along the axle-wheel contact, determined by the FE analysis, was implemented into different multiaxial fatigue criteria in order to predict critical sites of nucleation. The equivalent fatigue limit expressed by the applied criterion is compared with the crack size dependent fatigue limit des...
Comparison of jointed plain concrete pavement systems designed by mechanisticempirical (M-E) method for different traffic, subgrade, material and climatic conditions Farkli trafik, zemin, malzeme ve iklim kosullari için mekanistik-ampirik (M-E) yöntemle tasarlanan derzli donatisiz rijit üstyapi sistemlerinin karsilastirilmasi Öztürk, Hande Işık; ŞENGÜN, EMİN; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2019-01-01) In pavement design, traditional empirical catalog methods leave their place to next generation mechanistic-empirical (M-E) design methods that utilize cracking, faulting and roughness as pavement performance parameters. Within the scope of this study, the effects of different traffic, subgrade and concrete strength classes for 20 and 40 year's service periods on the thickness and joint spacing of JPCP are determined by M-E design method for ten regions representing different climatic classes. A total of 360...
Soft computing methodology to determine pavement thickness from falling weight deflectometer testing Pekcan, Onur; Ghaboussi, J. (2010-12-01) This paper describes an advanced pavement analysis application based on a soft computing methodology, SOFTSYS, recently developed at the University of Illinois for identifying pavement geometry and layer properties through various nondestructive testing methods. Specifically, it is capable of backcalculating pavement layer properties as well as determining thickness of full depth asphalt pavements using results of the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test. SOFTSYS uses a combination of Genetic Algorithms ...
Seismic Retrofit of Deficient RC Structures with Internal Steel Frames ÖZÇELİK, RAMAZAN; Akpinar, Ugur; Binici, Barış (2011-12-01) This paper describes an experimental study on internal steel frames (ISFs) to retrofit seismically deficient reinforced concrete (RC) frames. One reference and six strengthened frame specimens were tested under constant gravity load and cyclic lateral displacement excursions. Installation of the ISF with and without anchors to the RC frame was examined. Test results showed that the snug tight ISF installed inside an RC frame may suffice to realize the benefit of implementing ISFs. If the horizontal shear st...
Dynamic stiffness-based test systems for viscoelastic material characterization: Design considerations Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Batihan, Ali Cagri (2012-07-24) In this paper, several important design issues for viscoelastic material characterization test systems which utilize dynamic stiffness measurements are discussed. These discussions are focused on structural dynamics aspects of the design of these test systems. These test systems are used to experimentally obtain the complex modulus of viscoelastic solids such as rubber, plastics, etc. Various standards exist on dynamic stiffness-based viscoelastic material characterization test methods, which give general g...
