In practice, the production temperatures of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) mixtures are determined based on practical experiences and recommendations. Thus, the focus of this study is to propose a temperature-sensitive compactabilty assessment method to quantify the temperature needs of WMA mixtures. Therefore, in this study, an image-based testing setup coupled with the Marshall Apparatus was developed to obtain the densification curve of asphalt mixtures considering its sensitivity to temperature changes. Further, the compactability indices typically derived for Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) were adapted for Marshall Compaction. Accordingly, the effect of the temperature on the volumetrics, stability, and compactability indices were analysed for one Hot Mix Asphalt and four different WMA mixtures utilising the proposed methodology. Moreover, similar analyses were implemented for the same mixtures compacted with SGC and compared with the findings of the proposed methodology. While the analysis indicated that SGC compactability indices are not sensitive to relatively small temperature changes, it was concluded that the temperature-compactability relations obtained utilising the proposed methodology are considerably sensitive. Furthermore, the major findings of the study perfectly overlap with the field experiences.

Effect of warm mix additives on compactabilitiy of mixtures Pamuk, Ömer Can; Öztürk, Hande Işık; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), the technology that allows significant reduction in the mixing and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixtures, has been commonly used globally since the early 2000s. This study evaluates the effect of compaction temperature (CT) on WMA and Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures volumetrics, degradation, stability, and compactability properties. Although both Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SPGC) and Marshall hammer are used for sample preparation, the focus of this study is to develop compact...
Comparison of laboratory practices for roller compacted concretepavements Şengün, Emin; Aykutlu, Mehmet Ali; Shabani, Reza; Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (null; 2018-06-22) Many advantages like time, cost and sustainability provided by the use of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) are behind the increase of this use in pavements, dams, airports, industrial storehouse, military fields and other applications day by day. However, even that many countries started to use this technology since the 1970’s, especially Canada and USA, there is no fully efficient laboratory test method that can represent the compaction conditions of the field. This study aims to compare the main compaction...
Analysis of the Heat Capacity for Pure CH4 and CH4/CCl4 on Graphite Near the Melting Point and Calculation of the T-X Phase Diagram for(CH3)CCl3+CCl4 Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2016-06-15) We study the temperature dependence of the heat capacity C-p for the pure CH4 and the coadsorbed CH4/CCl4 on graphite near the melting point. The heat capacity peaks are analyzed using the experimental data from the literature by means of the power-law formula. The critical exponents for the heat capacity are deduced below and above the melting point for CH4 (T-m = 104.8 K) and CH4/CCl4 (T-m = 99.2 K). Our exponent values are larger as compared with the predicted values of some theoretical models exhibiting...
Comparison of MODIS-derived land surface temperature with air temperature measurements Georgiou, Andreas; Akcit, Nuhcan (2017-03-23) Air surface temperature is an important parameter for a wide range of applications such as agriculture, hydrology and climate change studies. Air temperature data is usually obtained from measurements made in meteorological stations, providing only limited information about spatial patterns over wide areas. The use of remote sensing data can help overcome this problem, particularly in areas with low station density, having the potential to improve the estimation of air surface temperature at both regional a...
Implementation and analysis of temperature control strategies for outdoor photobiological hydrogen production ANDROGA, DOMINIC DEO; UYAR, BAŞAR; Koku, Harun; EROĞLU, İNCİ (2016-12-01) For outdoor photobiological hydrogen production, the effective control of temperature in photobioreactors is a challenge. In this work, an internal cooling system for outdoor tubular photobioreactors was designed, built, and tested. The temperatures in the reactors with bacteria were consistently higher than those without bacteria, and were also strongly influenced by solar irradiation and ambient air temperature. The cooling protocol applied successfully kept the reactor temperatures below the threshold li...
