Laboratory Investigation Of Type I And Type Ii Hardened Cement Emulsified Asphalt Mortar, Tyler E. Rutherford Dec 2014

Laboratory Investigation Of Type I And Type Ii Hardened Cement Emulsified Asphalt Mortar, Tyler E. Rutherford

Masters Theses

The research presented in this thesis investigated the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of a relatively new construction building material that has been given a lot of attention in the past decade. Cement emulsified asphalt mortar (CEAM) has unique properties that differ from concrete and asphalt binder alone as this hybrid material combines the high strength of portland cement composites and the flexibility of asphalt materials. Functioning as a damping material for ballastless high-speed rail track bed, CEAM has the potential to be utilized in other areas of construction.

The work presented in this thesis is broken down into two studies, …
