Abstract:
Disclosed is a draining composition for a light-traffic road pavement, including: (a) a first granular layer having a percentage of communicating voids ranging 25-50%, including a binder and a granular mixture of which at least 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the granular mixture, has a granular size distribution range 4-20 mm, the layer having a thickness suitable for the pavement's mechanical strength; (b) a second granular layer having main lower and upper surfaces, the main lower surface resting directly on the first granular matrix and the main upper surface in direct contact with the air, the second granular layer being a granular mixture not bound by a binder and of which at least 80% by weight, relative to the total weight of the granular mixture, has a granular size distribution range 2-14 mm, the second granular layer having a thickness appropriate for water accumulation.
Abstract:
Cold-in-place asphalt recycling is disclosed. A foamed asphalt may be produced by injecting water and optionally compressed air into a hot asphalt stream. A lubricating surfactant may be added to the hot asphalt stream to improve performance. The foamed asphalt may be mixed with reclaimed material to provide a uniformly coated paving material that can compacted to a desired density.
Abstract:
A composition for sealing and resurfacing a road surface includes a first material having at least a first emulsified asphalt, wherein the first material is applied to the road surface. The composition also includes a second material having a second emulsified asphalt and a driving surface material. The second material is applied to the first material such that the first material and the second material co-cure as a unified material.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an asphalt product. The asphalt product includes an asphalt binder and a bio-oil blend comprising a mixture of a non-hydrogenated bio-oil and a partially hydrogenated bio-oil, where the bio-oil blend is mixed with the asphalt binder to form an asphalt product having a shear stiffness of 0.20 kPa to 11,000 kPa at a temperature ranging from 25° C. to 85° C. and/or a viscosity of 0.15 Pa·s to 1.50 Pa·s at a temperature ranging from 120° C. to 165° C. The present invention further relates to methods of producing an asphalt product and methods of applying an asphalt product to a surface.
Abstract:
Provided herein are roadways containing polyurethane materials. A roadway includes a base layer of a compacted in situ material and/or a wear layer disposed on the base layer. One or both of these layers may include the polyurethane material to bind other components in the layers and to form more robust and durable roadway structures capable of withstanding operating loads of the roadway. In some embodiments, the polyurethane material is added to the wear layer by mixing in situ soil and/or foreign aggregate with polyurethane material or by dispensing the polyurethane material over the existing partially formed wear layer. The base layer may or may not include a polyurethane material. The type, concentration, distribution, and processing of the polyurethane material in the wear layer may be the same or different than that in the base layer.
Abstract:
A process for the waterproof working with the use of deposition layer including mesh reinforcing bar comprises of depositing on under coat, at least on waterproof material layers and inserting a mesh reinforcing bar layer in any one between said waterproof material deposited layers. The process can be carried out the waterproof working for structures such as building, road and the like.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of organic dithiol polysulfides with a molecular weight of between 500 and 10,000, characterized by the fact that these products are obtained when a dihalogenated organic derivative and hydrogen sulfide react simultaneously with an alkaline polysulfide solution. New products are obtained by this process, using dichlorodiethyl formal and dichlorodibutyl formal. These dithiol polysulfides react with sulfur to form either plasticized sulfur, with many possible applications in the coating field, or polysulfide polymers, one of the applications of which is the modification of bitumens.
Abstract:
1. IN A COMPOSITION USEFUL AS A PAVING MATERIAL COMPRISING IN ADMIXTURE AGGREGATE AND A BINDER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A BITUMINOUS MATERIAL AND APETROLEUM RESIN, THE IMPROVEMENT WHEREIN FROM 3-75% BY WEIGHT OF SAID AGGREGATE IS REPLACED WITH SOLID SYNTHETIC THERMOPLASTIC RESIN PARTICLES SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF VINCYL CHLORIDE RESINS, POLYETHYLENE, POLYPROPYL ENE, POLYSTYRENE, ACRYLONITRILE-BUTADIENE-STYRENE AND METHACRYLIC RESINS IN THE FORM OF PELLETS OR FRAGMENTS HAVING A MAXIMUM LENGTHWISE DIAMETER OF ABOUT 1-220 MM. IN SAID ADMIXTURE.
Abstract:
A paving mixture for application to a surface and a method for the same. The mixture comprises a binding material layer applied to the surface to form a base layer on the surface, and an aggregate material layer applied on top of the binding material layer. The binding material layer can be applied in an amount of at most 0.125 gallons/yd2. The aggregate material layer contains an asphalt mixture that provides a road surface. The aggregate material layer and the binding material layer can be combined on the surface within 30 seconds of application of the binding material layer. Additionally, multiple paving mixtures may be applied to the surface.
