The Effective Use Of Coal Combustion Products (Ccps) In Ashphalt Pavements, Clayton J. Cloutier May 2016

The Effective Use Of Coal Combustion Products (Ccps) In Ashphalt Pavements, Clayton J. Cloutier

Theses and Dissertations

Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) is one of the most widely used construction materials. The National Asphalt Paving Association (NAPA) estimated that there are over 2.6 million miles of roadway surfaces paved in the United States and 94% of these roads are paved with asphalt. NAPA also estimates that approximately 550 million tons of asphalt worth over $30 billion a year is produced in the United States. At such a huge production rate, innovative solutions need to be developed so that asphalt pavements last longer and can also reduce the production and maintenance costs. Producing sustainable asphalt materials can provide for improved …


Experimental Evaluation Of The Effect Of Coal Combustion Products On Constructability, Damage And Aging Resistance Of Asphalt Mastics, Emil Garibaldy Bautista May 2015

Experimental Evaluation Of The Effect Of Coal Combustion Products On Constructability, Damage And Aging Resistance Of Asphalt Mastics, Emil Garibaldy Bautista

Theses and Dissertations

Developing a cost-efficient and long-term road infrastructure requires innovative approaches that are both green and environmentally sustainable. Today, building a sustainable, long-lasting, and efficient road infrastructure with little or no repairs is a challenging task and highly innovative technological breakthroughs are urgently needed. For many years fly ash has been effectively used as a partial replacement of portland cement in the production of different types of concrete, as well as in embankments and soil stabilization. On the other hand, the use of Coal Combustion Products (CCPs), including fly ash, as a mineral filler in asphalt pavements has been very limited. …
