Hi friends,
I know you want to know more about the potential
applications of MAMs! Therefore, to make a summary of the past three
applications (controlling the HMA modulus, self-healing capacity, and anti-iced
systems) and to list the last two I would like to tell you about (less
susceptibility to develop permanent deformation and to help in the
implementation of self-guided systems), I leave you here the 6 slides:
If you want the last post of the summer school
in Palermo, maybe you now know about this 5 potential applications! But in case
you did not see it and if you would like to see the complete slide, I am here
sharing it with you all.
Making a little comment about the lower
susceptibility to develop permanent deformation, in comparison to conventional bituminous
mixtures, I want to cite a paragraph from the paper: Development of mechanomutable
asphalt binders for the construction of smart pavements (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264127515004487).
“… Under high loads
and temperatures, they should behave in a more rigid manner (reducing the
appearance of plastic deformations and the effects caused by the stresses
transmitted by the traffic). At lowtemperatures, or in the absence of loads,
they should perform more flexibly (dissipating the stresses caused by thermal
shrinkage or adapting its shape without cracking under the presence of possible
settlements of the soil foundation)...”
About the last potential application, I only
can tell you that I am not working on it, therefore, I hope to tell you how it
works when I already finished my tests at laboratory! I promise that is going
to be soon! Stay tuned!
Keep in touch,
ESR 14-PLP.
