It is known that the supporting capacity of asphalt concrete depends on the weakest component of the system. Currently, there are two main ways to increase strength and shear resistance of asphalt concrete: modification of bitumen binder or regulation of granulometric composition, in the trend of increasing the rock stone content. However, in the first case, the structure-forming effect of multi-crushed stone asphalt concrete is not fully used, in the second - due to the high bitumen consumption necessary to fill intergranular bugholes, the mixture segregates. The elimination of this disadvantage was provided by the introduction of fine-fibred filler into mixture. Stone mastic asphalt concrete (SMA) was created, which fundamentally combines the advantages of impacted low-crushed stone concrete and maximum structural asphalt-concrete, which are widespread in some countries for roads with high traffic stream.
In this paper, we studied the effect of various types of stabilizing additives on the performance of stone mastic asphalt concrete.
The relevance of the studied topic is due to the fact that, despite the longtime wood use as a building material, the issue of durability predicting keeps underexplored. Wood offers a wide range of positive properties, but still has a number of disadvantages, one of which is a tendency to biodeterioration. The main way to control wood biodeterioration is its antiseptic treatment. However, during the operation or storage of treated wooden structures, there is a process of washing out antiseptic agents from them (depreservation) and, as a result, a decrease of biostability. The paper proposes the methodology for accelerated prediction of the wood treated durability with an antiseptic, taking into account the real conditions of its operation. The optimal conditions and the temperature effect on the rate of diffusion antiseptic transfer to external environment are established, depending on the actual operating conditions of wooden structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
