In the face of rapid population growth and industrialisation, mitigating harmful effects CO2 emissions becomes an important issue to be studied. The objective this study was perform a structural analysis evaluating influence carbonation soil-electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) mixtures used in subgrade layer asphalt pavement. Resilient modulus tests (RM) were performed on soil-EAFS subjected two curing processes. using AEMC software, being evaluated: (i) deflection at top layer, (ii) horizontal...
This study aimed to assess the effects of short-term aging on mechanical behaviour asphalt layers flexible pavement structures. The their performance have not yet been detailed, in terms structural analyses. Therefore, structures with distinct types (non-aged and aged) were evaluated. Stability, tensile strength, resilient modulus, fatigue permanent deformation or static creep determined. mePADS software was used carry out analyses pavements, based variations bound layers' properties,...
Integrating industrial wastes into soils to enhance their properties is a potential solution current waste management challenges. Since the literature lacks systematic studies on mechanical performance of mixtures soil, ladle furnace slag (LFS) and fly ash (FA), this research investigated chemical stabilization two different (clayey or sandy soil) using concomitant mix distinct types wastes: LFS FA. A design experiments (DoE) methodology was employed systematically generate for each soil...
The combined use of electric arc furnace slag fines (EAFSF) and ladle (LFSF) for soil stabilisation was not evaluated in previous works. Previous studies reported limited information on the microscale behaviour steel materials used stabilisation. This work synergistic effects provided by combination EAFSF LFSF clayey sandy soils. It a detailed analysis raw slag-soil mixes with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis,...
The degradation of paved and unpaved roads stands as a critical concern in contemporary infrastructure management. When faced with limited budgets, it is important to identify the optimal combination road preservation strategies minimize lifecycle cost network. Specific studies are necessary improve maintenance management systems analyze behavior surface deformation. To narrow these knowledge gaps, this study investigates system that focuses on application optimization techniques for...
