This work presents how to assess a rate of adhesion between bituminous binder and mineral aggregate. Asphalt mixtures composed from grade bitumen 50/70, reference or modified with adhesion promoters based on amines, and ...

Asphalt mixtures often fail due to poor interaction between mineral aggregate and bituminous binder. Therefore, many efforts are being made on adhesion improvement between the two materials. In this work, paving grade ...

The article focuses on the impact of waste marble powder on resulting cement composites. We investigate of influence waste marble powder on the hydration process and hence the resulting phase composition. The hydration ...

This paper focuses on the mechanical properties investigation of cement pastes reinforced with surface treated polymer fibers. The cement matrix was composed of Portland cement (CEM I 42.5 R, w/c ratio equal to 0.4). Two ...

The article describes plasma modifications of the surface of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microfibers using oxygen and hydrogen plasma in order to improve the properties of the composite material containing modified microfibers, ...

The aim of this work is to describe bonding properties between surface treated polymer fibers and a cement matrix. In order to increase an interaction between the matrix and fiber surfaces, two fiber types having approx. ...

This paper deals with the use of high-speed milling process for recycling old concrete and direct determination of the potential of input waste. For this purpose, three different types of waste concrete were used: prefabricated ...

The effect of atmospheric and low-pressure plasma modification on polypropylene (PP) microfibers was examined. Mechanical changes on the microfiber surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Next, ...
