Author:Verhaeghe, Benoit MJA; Myburgh, PA; Denneman, EDate:Sep 2007The paper seeks to redress the concerns expressed at the eight Conference on Asphalt pavements for Southern Africa (CAPSA) that the design of hot-mix asphalt did not adequately address prevention of rutting. It presents a consolidation of ...Read more
Author:Walubita, LF; Ling, M; Fuentes, L; Komba, Julius J; Mabrouk, GMDate:Sep 2022Asphalt binder is one of the key constitutive components of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) that considerably affects its rutting performance. In particular, the high-temperature rheological properties measured from the multiple stress creep and recovery ...Read more
Author:Kekana, SL; Steyn, WJvdMDate:Jul 2008Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) surfaced roads provide good riding quality when properly constructed, but there are serious distresses associated with HMA, and asphalt rutting is one of them. The existence of rutting on roads results in ponding of water ...Read more
Author:Komba, Julius J; O'Connell, Johannes S; Paige-Green, PDate:Jul 2014The overall performance of an asphalt mix is dependent on, amongst others, the properties of the constituent materials, which include aggregate, binder and filler. The aggregate for production of asphalt mixes is usually sourced from a quarry, ...Read more
Author:Walubita, LF; Faruk, ANM; Zhang, J; Komba, Julius J; Alrashydah, EI; Simate, GSDate:Apr 2019The Hamburg Wheel Tracking Test (HWTT) is a widely used routine laboratory test for identifying and screening hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes that are prone to rutting. The standard HMA pass-fail screening criterion under the current HWTT protocol ...Read more
Author:Walubita, LF; Mahmoud, E; Lee, SI; Carrasco, G; Komba, Julius J; Fuentes, L; Nyamuhokya, TPDate:Jul 2019One of the common methods to mitigate reflective cracking, in existing cracked pavements, is the use of interlayer grid reinforcements in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay construction during maintenance and/or rehabilitation projects. As a means ...Read more
