Acoustic absorption analysis and modeling of asphalt mixtures
( ASTM International , 2019 , Article)Highway traffic noise is a major environmental issue all over the world. This is particularly annoying to residents who live nearby major transportation corridors. Noise pollution adversely affects the quality of their ... -
Assessment of tire-pavement noise by using on-board sound intensity (Obsi) method in the state of qatar
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2017 , Conference Paper)Tire-pavement noise is the dominant source of traffic noise especially at medium and high speeds. Thus, various transportation agencies and researchers are actively investigating for establishment of accurate test methods ... -
Effect of Aging on Viscoelastic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
( American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) , 2019 , Article)This study presents a comprehensive laboratory evaluation and statistical analysis of the effect of aging on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. Asphalt mixtures were subjected to different short- and long-term ... -
Effect of Pavement Surface Aging on Tire-Pavement Noise: A Case Study in the State of Qatar
( EDP Sciences , 2018 , Conference Paper)The acoustical performance of asphalt pavements changes with time due to combined effects of environmental conditions and various distresses induced by repeated and heavy traffic. This study examined the changes in the ... -
Evaluation of Noise Performance of Multi-Lane Highways in the State of Qatar
( Institute of Physics Publishing , 2019 , Conference Paper)In recent years, a growing number of people are complaining to transportation authorities for the traffic noise as a result of increased traffic volume on the highways. Therefore, transportation authorities are actively ... -
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2018 , Conference Paper)Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ... -
Retarding aging of asphalt binders using antioxidant additives and copolymers
( Taylor and Francis Ltd. , 2019 , Article)The rheological properties of asphalt binders change with aging. Aging is accelerated at elevated temperatures due to binder oxidation, leading to fatigue cracking and eventually pavement failure under heavy and repeated ...
