Freeze-Thaw Splitting Strength Analysis of PAC Based on the Gray-Markov Model

In this study, a freeze-thaw split test was carried out to simulate the frost-heaving behavior of permeable asphalt concrete (PAC). Furthermore, the water stability problems caused by spalling and loosening were studied. Through a comparati...

Analysis of methods for accounting cargo vehicles in traffic flow of a regulated crossroad

Introduction. The formation of a ‘cargo frame’ around large cities leads to a change in the composition of the traffic flow on bypass roads, and an increase in the total traffic flow of trucks of various categories. In addition, the active ...

Effects of Titanate Coupling Agent on Engineering Properties of Asphalt Binders and Mixtures Incorporating LLDPE-CaCO3 Pellet

This study was initiated to evaluate the performance of asphalt binders and mixtures incorporating linear low-density polyethylene- calcium carbonate (LLDPE-CaCO3) pellet, either with or without titanate coupling agent. The detailed manufac...

MEMS-Reconfigurable Metamaterials and Antenna Applications

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity

Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental da...
