Fall 2020
Asphalt pavements are the most common type of pavements in North America. Increasing traffic demand, harsh weather conditions, and the tendency for infrastructure operators to reduce the cost (and, therefore, the frequency) of maintenance are the major reasons for asphalt performance improvement...

Development of Solvent Selection Criteria Based on Diffusion Rate, Mixing Quality, and Solvent Retrieval for Optimal Heavy-Oil and Bitumen Recovery at Different Temperatures
DownloadFall 2015
Heavy-oil and bitumen recovery requires high recovery factors to offset the extreme high cost of the process. Attention has been given to solvent injection for this purpose and it has been observed that high recoveries are achievable when combined with steam injection. Heavier (“liquid”) solvents...

Evaluation of Mechanical Performance of Asphalt Emulsion Stabilized Base Course Using Asphaltenes or Cement
DownloadFall 2021
Civilization has become highly reliant on the road industry in recent years for both commercial and personal purposes. A typical road's function is to promote traffic flow comfortably and safely. The pavement is a structure made up of natural ground with varying layers on top that can distribute...
