DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COLD BITUMEN EMULSION MIXTURES AND FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF PREDICTING PERMANENT DEFORMATION
… involving the traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA) technology and its effects on the environment and health means that serious attention needs to be paid to building more sustainable flexible pavements. Cold bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM) as an increasingly attractive cold asphalt mixture is …

Development of a New Cold Binder Course Emulsion Asphalt
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is the most commonly used material in the construction of asphalt pavements. Approximately 650 million tonnes of asphalts for road pavements were produced, worldwide, in 2014. However, the HMA industry is responsible for a substantial consumption of energy, the creation of …

HIGH STRENGTH COLD ROLLED ASPHALT SURFACE COURSE MIXTURES
… (BEMs) means manufacturing of asphalt at ambient temperature using bitumen emulsion as the binder. It has been widely utilised in many countries such as the USA and France. The use and development of BEMs were not brought forward in the UK due to the country’s relatively wet/cold climatic …

Soft Soil Stabilisation Using a Novel Blended Cementitious Binder Produced From Waste Fly Ashes
Soil stabilisation is one of the most common techniques used to mitigate the undesirable properties of soft soils such as low compressive strength and high compressibility. Cement is the most commonly used binder for soil improvement applications in the UK and worldwide due to its high strength …

An investigation of cement coating for aggregates in bituminous material
This research was designed to investigate the properties of aggregate with a new cement coating applied, and to test the effect of including this aggregate in a bituminous road mixture. The investigation was divided into three main areas of study. They were, chemical and physical testing of the …

An improved backcalculation method to predict flexible pavement layers moduli and bonding condition between wearing course and base course.
… an improved backcalculation procedure, for the determination of flexible pavement properties from the Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) test results. The conventional backcalculation methods estimate the pavement layer moduli assuming full adhesion exists between layers in the analysis process. …

Highway embankment design in Bangladesh
At present there is no systematic approach for the design of highway embankments in Bangladesh. To address this issue, this thesis presents a methodology which can be used for the design of embankments in countries with similar conditions to those experienced in Bangladesh. Such conditions include: …

Materials considered for pavement and embankment design
Much of the land area of Bangladesh is in the flood plain and constructing durable roads has always proven challenging since the host soils are not generally suitable and there is lack of suitable aggregate. In addition to these challenging conditions, engineers invariable have limited methods of …

Development of models for optimal road maintenance fund allocation : A case of Ghana
… optimal road fund allocation model for road maintenance to three road agencies in Ghana. The objective was to compare a novel model by multicriteria analysis (MCA) with deterministic outcome and a model based on preferential analysis to determine optimality. The deterministic model was efficiency …

A Methodology to Assess Data Variability and Risk in a Pavement Design System for Bangladesh.
… a generic methodology to quantify the risk and reliability of pavement and embankment design for Bangladesh considering the variability in design data. The study also aimed to develop a construction quality control procedure to reduce the variability in data. To achieve this aim, data were …

Climate change and road freight safety: impacts and opportunities
… to apply recent conceptual frameworks for climate change impact assessment to the road freight sector of Great Britain in order to identify potential future safety issues. The freight sector is a key component of Great Britain’s economy, and one which is particularly vulnerable to the effects of …
