Cold mix asphalt (CMA) has been increasingly recognized as an important alternative worldwide. One of the common types of CMA is cold bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM). In the present study, the optimization of CBEM has been investigated, to determine... Read More about Optimizing the mix design of cold bitumen emulsion mixtures using response surface methodology.

The use of additives to enhance properties of pre-formed foamed concrete (2015)
Journal Article
Hilal, A. A., Thom, N., & Dawson, A. (2015). The use of additives to enhance properties of pre-formed foamed concrete. International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 7(4), https://doi.org/10.7763/IJET.2015.V7.806

This paper describes an experimental study of an enhancement of pre-formed foamed concrete, 1300-1900 kg/m3, by utilising two types of additives, silica fume and fly ash, to partially replace Portland cement and fine sand. It focuses on consistency,... Read More about The use of additives to enhance properties of pre-formed foamed concrete.

On void structure and strength of foamed concrete made without/with additives (2015)
Journal Article
Hilal, A. A., Thom, N., & Dawson, A. (2015). On void structure and strength of foamed concrete made without/with additives. Construction and Building Materials, 85, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.03.093

A study has been undertaken to investigate the effect of different additives on the strength foamed concrete by characterising air-void size and shape parameters and identifying the influence of these parameters and changes to cement paste microstruc...

Stiffness of cold asphalt mixtures with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste (2015)
Journal Article

The stiffness of cold asphalt mixtures (CAM) with 100% recycled construction and demolition waste aggregates (CDWA) was studied from three different points of view: the indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM), the dynamic modulus at different tempe...
