GEO-E2050 - Bituminous Materials and Mixtures D, Lecture, 12.1.2022-25.2.2022

Topic outline

• Select topic Overview

  Overview
  The class provides an overview of asphalt materials used in road engineering. The list of topics includes:

  • Introduction to pavements.
  • Asphalt binder, characterization, testing (conventional, Performance Grade (PG), Multiple-Stress Creep- Recovery - MSCR, Linear Amplitude Sweep – LAS, etc.), and simple modeling.
  • Asphalt Mixture, components (aggregate, additives), mix design, characterization testing, performance.
  • Production techniques and recycling.
  • Construction and compaction.
  • Current road engineering research thematic.

  
  

  Sessions: Lectures are on Wednesday and Thursday (12:15-14:00) and Friday (10:15-12:00).

  Lectures time will be used either for (or a combination of) theoretical explanations, exercise, or seminar guest lectures. Three lectures will be devoted to reviewing the main topics presented during the class.
