Oxidative aging can further strengthen the interaction between saline solutions and bitumen. Bitumen molecules diffusion is the fastest in an alkaline salt solution, as indicated by the high diffusion coefficient. Furthermore, adsorption occurs at the interface between a neutral salt solution and bitumen, leading to interspersing of the salt and bitumen molecules. The water molecules and Na+ ions in an alkaline salt solution can penetrate the bitumen surface, leading to a more chaotic molecular arrangement at the interface. The interfacial film formed in the bitumen-alkaline solution system has the highest thickness owing to the extremely strong interaction. Furthermore, Na+ ions aggregate at the bitumen surface, and aging accelerates the diffusion of Na+ ions toward the bitumen surface.]]> Wed, 30 Oct 2024 11:08:29 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2437326 Evaluating the Performance of Expansive Soil by Using Rice Husk Ash and Liquid Alkaline Activator https://trid.trb.org/View/2419893 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 09:37:59 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2419893 Performance deterioration of asphalt mixture exposed to salt-water-temperature-ultraviolet coupling effect https://trid.trb.org/View/2310333 Sat, 13 Apr 2024 20:06:43 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2310333 Alkali resistance of selected waste fibres to model cement environment https://trid.trb.org/View/2300379 Fri, 26 Jan 2024 10:03:46 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2300379 Study on the synergistic regulation strategy of load range and electrolysis efficiency of 250 kW alkaline electrolysis system under high-dynamic operation conditions https://trid.trb.org/View/2315402 Thu, 18 Jan 2024 11:37:27 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2315402 Influence of acidity and alkalinity of water environments on the water stability of asphalt mixture: Phase I - molecular dynamics simulation https://trid.trb.org/View/2307452 Thu, 21 Dec 2023 16:35:12 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2307452 Quantitative Characterization of Aggregates and Their Chemical Constituents in Terms of Acid and Alkaline Indicators https://trid.trb.org/View/2158815 Thu, 25 May 2023 17:41:07 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2158815 Development of Pore Solution Sensor for Concrete https://trid.trb.org/View/2077938 Tue, 06 Dec 2022 09:48:34 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2077938 Research on a multivariate non-linear regression model of dynamic mechanical properties for the alkali-activated slag mortar with rubber tire crumb https://trid.trb.org/View/2004923 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 14:27:28 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/2004923 A New Technique for Simple and Rapid Discrimination of the Stages of Used Oil Degradation https://trid.trb.org/View/1818854 Mon, 29 Aug 2022 09:27:35 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1818854 Use of aircraft in ocean alkalinity enhancement https://trid.trb.org/View/1908848 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 10:53:25 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1908848 Alkali-Activated Controlled Low-Strength Material Utilizing High-Calcium Fly Ash and Steel Slag for Use as Pavement Materials https://trid.trb.org/View/1853651 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 16:42:54 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1853651 Reduction of pH Levels from Underdrain Outlets https://trid.trb.org/View/1765403 10-11) in the pavement drainage discharge as well as high amounts of solids deposited at the drain outlets with the potential for clogging the pavement drainage layer. A field and laboratory investigation was conducted in this study to extend an existing MDOT field study. Results of this study show that Recycled Crushed Concrete Aggregate (RCCA) bases produce leachate with high calcium ion concentrations and high pH levels. Limestone (LS) and Slag Aggregate (SA) bases produce leachate with lower levels of soluble particles and pH levels. The leachate from RCCA bases can produce calcite deposits on filter fabrics and drainage pipes and outlets. At the same time, highly alkaline leachate is known to be harmful to vegetation and aquatic life. This research shows the alkalinity of the leachate quickly dissipates within 100 feet of the drainage outlet as it likely becomes diluted by rainwater runoff. Several recommendations were developed based on the accumulative findings from the field and laboratory investigation as well as the documented practices by other states. These include recommendations for RCCA base thickness, blending of RCCA with LS and SA, washing of RCCA before use, and other suggestions for planning and construction. Some of these recommendations can be readily implemented by MDOT and other recommendations can be considered for inclusion in future specifications and special provisions.]]> Fri, 29 Jan 2021 16:29:28 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1765403 Reinforcement Corrosion in Marine Concretes—1: Initiation https://trid.trb.org/View/1663202 Thu, 14 Nov 2019 09:32:57 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1663202 Durability of reinforced concrete bridges in marine environments https://trid.trb.org/View/1658815 Thu, 17 Oct 2019 16:09:04 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/1658815
