Cement plays a pivotal role in the production of semi-flexible pavement (SFP), however, it contributes to 8 % global carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, reducing cement usage grout for porous asphalt mixtures is highly desirable mitigate overall footprint. Additionally, substantial generation agricultural, industrial, and hazardous waste often ends up environmental disposal without recycling. This research aims repurpose glass powder (GWP) date palm seed ash (DPSA) as partial substitutes...
Semi-flexible pavement (SFP), also known as grouted pavement, is a type of structure consisting porous asphalt skeleton with air voids between 25 and 35% injected cementitious grout materials. The special SFP provided enhanced durability resilience, making it promising option for the construction road surfaces in high-traffic areas severe conditions. main aim current research to investigate rutting behavior moisture resilience SFP-containing sustainable using ceramic waste powder (CWP). This...
The use of waste, recycled, and modified materials is increasingly popular in roadway construction for sustainability pavement longevity. This research examines the combination steel slag (SS) low-density polyethylene (LDPE), commonly used plastic bags manufacturing by-products, to mitigate environmental pollution. LDPE was tested as a binder modifier two bitumen grades, 60–70 80–100, at concentrations 3%, 5%, 7% by weight. SS replacement coarse aggregate. physical properties both unmodified...
Solutions for safer, more durable infrastructure are required in light of increasing traffic and severe weather Iraq. The most significant road conservation maintenance challenges the pavement's low resistance to dynamic loads short service life. As a result, vast sums money spent annually enhance capacities Thermoplastic electrometric polymers bitumen modification create long-lasting, cost-effective roadways. This study aims determine how mechanical properties neat asphalt binder change...
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, in which the temperature urban regions is higher relative to that surrounding rural areas, primarily attributed human activities and development. This escalation poses various challenges, impacting energy consumption, well-being, overall environment. study explores potential of phase change materials (PCMs) as an addition asphaltic mixes alleviating UHI effect. PCMs can store release thermal through transition exhibit valuable properties for...
Cement is the most important component in cementitious grout production,andtt accounts for 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing amount cement used infrastructure and buildings a desirable way to lower total carbon footprint associated with production. relatedly, developments manufacturing transportation lead production cars large numbers, which turn leads an increase byproduct waste like tires, are thrown away directly without recycling. Thus, this study aims develop novel...
The exploitation of locally available and abundant natural resources such as silica sand its use a supplementary cementitious material in the production grout used semi-flexible pavement (SFP) surfaces is paramount importance reducing transportation costs emissions, contributing to more sustainable development practices, overall environmental impact cement plants. SFP or injected pavement, porous asphalt structure with 25–35% voids, filled grout. distinguished by robustness, resistance...
