Failure mechanism of foamed concrete made with/without additives and lightweight aggregate (2016)
Journal Article

It has been reported that owing to a densification of the internal structure of concrete, adding mineral admixtures leads to a more brittle behaviour. Therefore, with the intention of modifying (increasing the strength of) foamed concrete to make it...

Bitumen stabilized ballast: a potential solution for railway track-bed (2016)
Journal Article

Railway ballast degradation under dynamic loads progressively leads to loss of mechanical performance and geometry of the track, so that maintenance interventions are frequently needed. In order to systematically avoid this issue, recently solutions... Read More about Bitumen stabilized ballast: a potential solution for railway track-bed.

Development of a tool to assess in-situ curing of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (2016)
Journal Article

This paper discusses the simplest yet crucial mix design consideration of Foamed Bitumen Mixtures (FBMs); curing. The objective of the present study is to attain better understanding of the curing mechanism of FBMs and lessen the gap between laborato...

Characterisation of high-performance cold bitumen emulsion mixtures for surface courses (2016)
Journal Article

Cold bitumen emulsion mixture (CBEM) is not yet widely used as a surface course around the world. In this study, 0/14-mm-size dense-graded surface course CBEMs have been investigated. The mechanical performance was evaluated in terms of stiffness mod... Read More about Characterisation of high-performance cold bitumen emulsion mixtures for surface courses.

Mechanical, durability and microstructure properties of cold asphalt emulsion mixtures with different types of filler (2016)
Journal Article

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the enhancement of Cold Asphalt Emulsion Mixtures (CAEMs) using binary and ternary blended fillers (BBF and TBF), including an in-depth assessment of the microstructure. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC),... Read More about Mechanical, durability and microstructure properties of cold asphalt emulsion mixtures with different types of filler.

Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material (2016)
Journal Article

In the present work, a mix design parametric study was carried out with the aim of proposing a practical and consistent mix design procedure for foamed bitumen mixtures (FBMs). The mix design parameters that were adopted in the study are mixing and c... Read More about Mix design considerations of foamed bitumen mixtures with reclaimed asphalt pavement material.
