Use of Steel Slag in Rigid Pavement
Abstract: Steel slag is a byproduct obtained from steel industry. It is generated as a residue during the production of steel. Because of the high disposal cost as a waste material and the overall positive features of steel slag, it has been declared a useful construction material, not an industrial waste by most of the developed countries. Successively, it is recycled as an aggregate for the construction of roads, soil stabilization, …

Implementation of Close Range Photogrammetry to Evaluate Distresses at Asphalt Pavement Surface
Abstract: Roadway pavements surface deteriorate with time because of traffic loading, environment conditions, and poor pavement maintenance management. The aim of this research is to implement close range photogrammetry technique for evaluation of the pavement surface distresses. The assessment was based on comparison with the traditional visual inspection method and validation of its equivalency with visual evaluation. The asphalt concrete pavement surface distresses such as (cracking type and crack width, patching …

Study on the Properties and Applications of Thermoplastic
Abstract: Hot-applied thermoplastic is prepared for road deposition in a melting apparatus where the granular or block material is introduced and heated until it liquefies at temperatures exceeding 400F. When applied on asphaltic concrete, thermoplastic material develops a thermal bond via heat- fusion. A thermoplastic is a material, usually a plastic polymer, which becomes soft when heated and hard when cooled. Thermoplastic materials can be cooled and heated several times without …

Experimental Study of Concrete Using Crumb Rubber with Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregates
Abstract: The cost effective About one crore 10 lakhs all types of new vehicles are added all year to the Indian roads. The increase of about three crores discarded tyres each year stance a potential threat to the environment. The greatest way to overcome this problem is to catch alternative aggregates for construction. The proposed work presents an investigational study of result of use of solid waste material (crumb rubber) in …
