Author:Komba, Julius J; Maina, JW; Anochie-Boateng, Joseph; O'Connell, Johannes SDate:Jul 2012As part of the revision of the South African Pavement Design Method (SAPDM), laboratory testing was conducted to obtain the dynamic (Complex) modulus |E*| of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) samples. Dynamic modulus gives an indication of linear ...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: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:Denneman, EDate:Aug 2010Fatigue cracking is an important mode of failure in hot-mix asphalt (HMA). As part of the revision of the South African pavement design method (SAPDM) a need was identified to assess the fracture toughness of HMA in terms of fracture energy. ...Read more
Author:Denneman, E; Marais, H; Sadzik, ESDate:Jul 2008The Marshall method is still the method of choice for the design of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) in South Africa. During the validation of a HMA mix design, considerable variability was encountered in Marshall test results for the same mix supplied ...Read more
Author:Anochie-Boateng, Joseph; O'Connell, Johannes S; Denneman, E; Verhaeghe, Benoit MJADate:Sep 2011The South Africa National Road Agency Ltd (SANRAL) is in the process of revising the South African Pavement Design Method (SAPDM). A necessary part of this programme is to develop resilient response models. Dynamic (complex) modulus has been ...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
