Trip generation is an indispensable component of the four-stage transportation planning process because the subsequent three stages are predicated on its results.  Linear regression has been widely adopted to predict trips due to its simplicity and its outperformance of more sophisticated count models and in some cases, soft computing models. The efficacy of regression for estimating trip generation alongside Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Fuzzy Expert System (FES) was examined. The performance of each model was evaluated using metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2) and the capability of predicting average trips. The R2 for Regression, ANN and FES were all 0.71. The MAE for Regression, FES and ANN were 0.56, 0.55 and 0.49 respectively. The MSE for Regression, ANN and FES were 1.15, 1.16 and 1.15 respectively. Finally, FES and ANN resulted in average trips of 4.5 in comparison to actual average trips of 4.51 per household,  while regression produced average trips of 4.51. ANN and FES are not superior alternatives to the linear regression model for trip generation modelling. The performance increments gained from adopting these models are marginal and the extra development and computational effort required to apply such sophisticated approaches may not be justified
行程生成是四阶段交通规划过程中不可缺少的组成部分,因为随后的三个阶段都是基于它的结果。线性回归由于其简单性和优于更复杂的计数模型以及在某些情况下的软计算模型,已被广泛用于预测行程。研究了回归与人工神经网络(ANN)和模糊专家系统(FES)相结合对行程生成的估计效果。使用平均绝对误差(MAE)、均方误差(MSE)、决定系数(R2)和预测平均行程的能力等指标对每个模型的性能进行评估。回归、ANN和FES的R2均为0.71。回归MAE、FES和ANN分别为0.56、0.55和0.49。回归、ANN和FES的MSE分别为1.15、1.16和1.15。最后,FES和ANN得出的平均出行次数为4.5次,而实际平均出行次数为4.51次,而回归得出的平均出行次数为4.51次。对于行程生成建模,人工神经网络和FES并不是线性回归模型的最佳选择。通过采用这些模型获得的性能增量是微不足道的,并且应用这些复杂方法所需的额外开发和计算工作可能不合理

Project Portfolio management (PPM) is a combination of projects under the sponsorship of a particular construction organization sharing the scarce resources, managing projects and programs within the portfolio. It requires different strategies, models and practices. Many organizations across the country have projects in their sector in different places. However they abandoned temporarily suspended or closed within a decade which is troublesome. Proper PPM helps to execute the construction project effectively. As such, the aim of this research paper is to identify PPM practices in different construction organizations with a view to examine the effects of such practices on the project portfolio. The current research topic focuses on analysing the project performance of different construction projects using Project Portfolio Management practices. In this research a questionnaire survey related to the Project Portfolio Management on four major practices is carried out among the various professionals in Indian Construction Industry with help of Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques such as Entropy Method, SAW, CODAS methods and ranking the various project portfolio.
项目组合管理(PPM)是在特定建筑组织的赞助下的项目组合,共享稀缺资源,管理项目组合中的项目和计划。它需要不同的策略、模式和实践。全国各地的许多组织在不同的地方都有各自部门的项目。然而,它们在十年内被放弃、暂停或关闭,这是很麻烦的。适当的PPM有助于有效地执行建设项目。因此,这篇研究论文的目的是在不同的建筑组织中识别PPM实践,以检查这些实践对项目组合的影响。当前的研究主题集中在使用项目组合管理实践分析不同建设项目的项目绩效。在本研究中,在印度建筑业的各种专业人员中进行了与项目组合管理有关的四种主要实践的问卷调查,帮助采用多标准决策(MCDM)技术,如熵法、SAW、CODAS方法,并对各种项目组合进行排名。

LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE (LST) ESTIMATION AT KUSHTIA DISTRICT, BANGLADESH 孟加拉国库什蒂亚地区地表温度的估算
Pub Date : 2021-09-30 DOI: 10.33736/jcest.3985.2021

Land Surface Temperature (LST) is a key phenomenon in worldwide climate change. The knowledge of surface temperature is important to a range of issues and themes in earth sciences, central to urban climatology, global environmental change, and human-environment interactions. In this study, LST for Kushtia District, Khulna division, Bangladesh, is derived using Arc-GIS software version from the images of Landsat 8 Optical Land Imager (OLI) of 30 m resolution and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIR) data of 100 m resolution, Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper plus (ETM+) with opto-mechanical sensor and Spatial Resolution of 30 m (60 m – thermal, 15-m panchromatic) and Landsat-5 Thematic MAPPER (TM) satellites. A total time span of 20 years, starting from 1998 to 2018 is selected. At every 5 years interval starting from 1998, air temperature, LST, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) have been calculated. Using the equation from Landsat user’s handbook, the digital number of thermal infrared band is converted into spectral radiance. Plank’s Inverse Function is used to obtain the effective at-sensor brightness temperature from the spectral radiance. The surface emissivity based on NDVI classes is used to retrieve the final LST. The study reveals that LST is increasing with the passage of time. Maximum values of LST are found along the North-East and North-West regions of Kushtia district. NDVI is found to have positive correlation with LST. Also, it has been found that NDWI has little influence on LST. The reasons behind the rise and fall of LST in different years are explained from changes in total vegetation coverage and total abundance of water body coverage viewpoint. The spatial distribution figures of air temperature, LST, NDVI and NDWI could be used as a guideline for urban planning, strategies for quality improvement of urban environment and a smart solution to the reduction of LST.
地表温度(LST)是全球气候变化的一个关键现象。地表温度的知识对地球科学的一系列问题和主题都很重要,对城市气候学、全球环境变化和人类与环境的相互作用都很重要。本研究使用Arc-GIS软件,利用Landsat 8光学陆地成像仪(OLI) 30 m分辨率和热红外传感器(TIR) 100 m分辨率的图像、Landsat-7增强型专题Mapper plus (ETM+)光机械传感器和空间分辨率为30 m (60 m -热,15 m全色)和Landsat-5专题Mapper (TM)卫星的图像,得出孟加拉国库尔纳省库什蒂亚地区的地表温度。总时间跨度为20年,从1998年到2018年。自1998年起,每隔5年计算一次气温、地表温度、归一化植被指数(NDVI)和归一化水体指数(NDWI)。利用Landsat用户手册中的公式,将热红外波段的数字数转换为光谱辐射。利用普朗克逆函数从光谱辐射中得到传感器的有效亮度温度。利用基于NDVI分类的地表发射率反演最终地表温度。研究表明,随着时间的推移,地表温度呈增加趋势。最大的地表温度分布在库什蒂亚地区的东北部和西北部。NDVI与LST呈正相关。同时发现NDWI对地表温度的影响不大。从总植被覆盖度和水体覆盖度变化的角度解释了不同年份地表温度上升和下降的原因。气温、地表温度、NDVI和NDWI的空间分布图可以作为城市规划的指导、城市环境质量改善的策略和降低地表温度的智能解决方案。

This paper focuses on delineation of ecological viability due to changes of household energy consumption behavior. Then the research also explored the factors (Environmental resources) behind growing ecological footprint. For having a lot of natural elements and high residential characteristics ward-4 of Khulna city was selected as study area. The research followed a three step approaches. At first, geographical and topographical data are analyzed in geo-spatial environment. Which helped to draw the Environmental Performance framework. Geographical Information system (GIS) helps to evaluate the current scenario and past scenario of the resource compatibility of some existing assets. The second phase is all about assessing the residents’ behavior towards energy consumption practice and the influencing factors behind this. The third part showed the environmental performance index (EPI) that include both the socio-economic problems and environmental circumstances using NSA method under the explanatory variables of environmental impact assessment (EIA). Essential natural assets especially water body and the vegetation has decreased at tremendous rate in recent time in Ward-4 with the enhancement of buildup area. This research is totally based on stakeholder perception towards energy consumption pattern and all the further assessment depend on this concept. To assess the behavioral changing factors, it seems that the correlation between income range and energy consumption is positive and linear. It represents that people want to switch high energy consumption appliances with growing wealth. Third phase assess environmental health (measure threat to human health) and ecological vitality (measures ecosystem service and natural resources) under environmental performance index. As the study is mostly involved local residents of study area so the method of neighborhood sustainability Assessment (NSA) is combined with EPI method for scoring the indicators. The approximate score of Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is around 53 percent demarcating the areas existing situation is in moderate rate and diverted from the standard value. This research draw attention to find out environment viability of ward-4 by measuring environmental stress to human health and ecosystem for providing practical guidance to government that aspire to move towards sustainable future.
本文主要探讨了居民能源消费行为变化对生态生存力的影响。然后探讨了生态足迹增长背后的因素(环境资源)。考虑到库尔纳市自然元素丰富,居住特征高,选择ward-4作为研究区。这项研究采用了三步走的方法。首先,在地理空间环境中对地理和地形数据进行分析。这有助于制定环境绩效框架。地理信息系统(GIS)有助于评估某些现有资产的资源兼容性的当前情景和过去情景。第二阶段是对居民的能源消费行为及其影响因素的评估。第三部分在环境影响评价的解释变量下,运用NSA方法研究了包括社会经济问题和环境状况的环境绩效指数。4区基本自然资产特别是水体和植被近年来随着堆积物面积的增大而急剧减少。本研究完全基于利益相关者对能源消耗模式的感知,所有进一步的评估都依赖于这一概念。为了评估行为改变因素,收入范围与能源消耗之间的相关性似乎是正线性的。它代表了随着财富的增长,人们想要转换高能耗电器。第三阶段根据环境绩效指标对环境健康(衡量对人类健康的威胁)和生态活力(衡量生态系统服务和自然资源)进行评估。由于研究对象多为研究区域内的当地居民,故将邻里可持续性评价(NSA)方法与EPI方法相结合,对指标进行评分。环境绩效指数(EPI)的大致得分为53%左右,表明该地区的现状处于中等水平,偏离标准值。本研究旨在通过测量环境压力对人类健康和生态系统的影响,找出ward-4的环境可行性,为政府迈向可持续发展的未来提供实践指导。

The subjective aspect of assessing Road Traffic Noise (RTN) in urban agglomerations is crucial, as it takes into consideration the sensitivity and specific reactions of residents to Road Traffic noise (RTN) in their living environments. This paper aims to present a detailed sociological study initiated to measure the level of public awareness regarding RTN and estimate the impact of RTN disturbance on RTN disturbance their daily activities. For this purpose, an attitudinal survey was conducted using a predesigned questionnaire with limited noise measurements. The questioners were distributed to the neighboring residents of one of the most congested arterial roads in Amman, Jordan’s capital. The questioner firstly focused on evaluating the awareness of respondents of the problem magnitude and its environmental and health impacts, and secondly, assessing the effects of RTN as perceived by the respondents on different daily activities. The analysis of the collected data found that around 50% of respondents believe that RTN impacts the environment, and 60% believe that RTN affects human health, while 38% consider changing their place of residence and moving to a quieter place. The main results of the study showed that RTN causes annoyance to people while performing their daily activities, especially while studying and resting. Further main reported impacts included causing fatigue (64%), anxiety (75%), nervousness (87%), focus reduction (89%), and discomfort (90%).
评价城市群道路交通噪声的主观方面是至关重要的,因为它需要考虑居民在其生活环境中对道路交通噪声的敏感性和具体反应。本文旨在提出一项详细的社会学研究,以衡量公众对RTN的认识水平,并估计RTN干扰对其日常活动的影响。为此目的,使用预先设计的问卷进行了态度调查,并进行了有限的噪音测量。在约旦首都安曼一条最拥堵的主干道上,提问者被分发给附近的居民。提问者首先侧重于评估受访者对问题严重性及其对环境和健康的影响的认识,其次,评估受访者对不同日常活动感知到的RTN影响。对收集数据的分析发现,约50%的受访者认为RTN影响环境,60%的受访者认为RTN影响人类健康,38%的受访者考虑改变居住地,搬到更安静的地方。该研究的主要结果表明,RTN在人们进行日常活动时,尤其是在学习和休息时,会给人们带来烦恼。进一步报告的主要影响包括疲劳(64%)、焦虑(75%)、紧张(87%)、注意力下降(89%)和不适(90%)。

As issues related to sustainable construction in Malaysia gains more importance, research on the utilization of waste by products especially from oil palm in concrete is vigorously implemented. Utilization of different parts of oil palm fibres in lightweight foamed concrete have garnered positive outcomes in terms of conservation of natural resources, lessening of environmental problem and can improve concrete's durability and mechanical properties. Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) is well-known as a low-density concrete with a wide range of applications. It is good in compression but poor under flexural load, as it produces multiple microcracks and cannot withstand the additional stress induced by applied forces without supplementary reinforcing elements. Hence this study was performed to examine the potential use of oil palm spikelets fibre (OPSF) in LFC in order to improve its engineering properties. LFC specimens were strengthened with OPSF fibre at different percentages of 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45%, and 0.60%. LFC density of 1000 kg/m3 was prepared with a constant cement-to-sand ratio of 1:1.5, and cement-to-water ratio of 0.45. The parameters that had been evaluated were flexural strength, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength.

OPSF fibre in LFC aided to evade the promulgation of cracks in the plastic state in the cementitious matrix.
随着马来西亚可持续建筑问题的日益重视,对废弃产品特别是油棕在混凝土中的利用的研究得到了大力开展。在轻质泡沫混凝土中使用油棕纤维的不同部分,在保护自然资源、减少环境问题和提高混凝土的耐久性和机械性能方面取得了积极的成果。轻泡沫混凝土(LFC)是一种众所周知的低密度混凝土,有着广泛的应用。它具有良好的压缩性能,但在弯曲荷载下性能较差,因为它会产生多个微裂纹,并且在没有补充增强元件的情况下无法承受外力引起的额外应力。因此,本研究旨在研究油棕小穗纤维(OPSF)在LFC中的潜在用途,以改善其工程性能。LFC试样分别添加0.15%、0.30%、0.45%、0.60%不同比例的OPSF纤维进行强化。在水灰比为1:1.5、水灰比为0.45的条件下,制备了密度为1000 kg/m3的LFC。评估的参数有抗弯强度、抗压强度和劈裂抗拉强度。结果表明,掺量为0.45%的OPSF纤维具有最佳的抗压、弯曲和劈裂拉伸强度。在LFC中加入OPSF纤维有助于避免胶凝基质在塑性状态下裂纹的传播。

Utilization of different parts of oil palm fibres in lightweight foamed concrete have garnered positive outcomes in terms of conservation of natural resources, lessening of environmental problem and can improve concrete's durability and mechanical properties. Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) is well-known as a low-density concrete with a wide range of applications. It is good in compression but poor under flexural load, as it produces multiple microcracks and cannot withstand the additional stress induced by applied forces without supplementary reinforcing elements. Hence this study was performed to examine the potential use of oil palm spikelets fibre (OPSF) in LFC in order to improve its engineering properties. LFC specimens were strengthened with OPSF fibre at different percentages of 0.15%, 0.30%, 0.45%, and 0.60%. LFC density of 1000 kg/m3 was prepared with a constant cement-to-sand ratio of 1:1.5, and cement-to-water ratio of 0.45.

The goal of this study is to examine the effects of Rohingya Influx specially on vegetation land cover and LST in Teknaf Peninsula, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh over time. For doing so, the research followed three steps. Firstly, the primary and secondary data were collected from prescribed sources like LANDSAT 8 images from Earth Explorer (USGS) and the Shapefiles were collected from secondary sources. Then, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) functions are explored in geospatial environment to assess the effect of deforestation on the region. Finally, A correlation is shown between LST and NDVI for making a decision from the environmental perspective. The findings state that, the region around the Rohingya Camps progressively lost its vegetation density as a result of increasing deforestation. According to this analysis, there was 87.87 % vegetation cover in 2013, which gradually decreased before the Rohingya Invasion in 2017. After the incident in 2018, vegetation cover drops to 75.67 %. Similarly, area with no vegetation increased more rapidly than others. The outcome showed that the transition in land cover was quicker and more noticeable in recent time. As a result, the LST has been increasing over the years. According to the study, there were around 8.71 % of areas with high temperatures in 2013, which increased to 36.86 % in 2020. It indicates that a large quantity of vegetation has been lost as a result of deforestation, and the LST of this region has changed dramatically. Furthermore, data was examined by Union to assess the individual effect from 5 Rohingya camps, and it was discovered that the situation in Teknaf Union is terrible, while the situation in Baharchhara Union is comparably better. Finally, the results of the research encourage an extensive regional environmental policy to eradicate this problem. To recompense the loss of nature govt. and responsible department should take necessary steps like hill conservation or tree plantation.
本研究的目的是研究随着时间的推移,罗兴亚人涌入对孟加拉国考克斯巴扎尔特克纳夫半岛的植被、土地覆盖和地表温度的影响。为此,该研究遵循了三个步骤。首先,一次数据和二次数据从指定的来源收集,如美国地质勘探者(USGS)的LANDSAT 8图像,并从二次来源收集Shapefiles。然后,利用归一化植被指数(NDVI)和地表温度(LST)函数在地理空间环境中评价森林砍伐对区域的影响。最后,LST与NDVI之间存在相关性,有利于环境视角下的决策。调查结果表明,由于森林砍伐的增加,罗兴亚难民营周围地区的植被密度逐渐下降。根据这一分析,2013年有87.87%的植被覆盖率,在2017年罗兴亚人入侵之前逐渐减少。2018年该事件发生后,植被覆盖率降至75.67%。同样,没有植被的面积也比其他地区增加得更快。结果表明,近一段时间以来,土地覆被变化速度较快,变化趋势较为明显。因此,地表温度多年来一直在增加。根据该研究,2013年约有8.71%的地区出现高温,到2020年这一比例增加到36.86%。这表明由于森林砍伐导致大量植被丧失,该地区的地表温度发生了巨大变化。此外,Union对数据进行了检查,以评估5个罗兴亚难民营的个人影响,发现Teknaf Union的情况很糟糕,而Baharchhara Union的情况相对较好。最后,研究结果鼓励广泛的区域环境政策来根除这一问题。为了补偿自然的损失,政府和负责部门应该采取必要的措施,如保护丘陵或植树造林。

Reduction in self-weight and achievement of full fire resistance requirements are some of the important considerations in the design of high-rise structures. Lightweight concrete filled steel tube (CFST) column provides an alternative method to serve these purposes. Recent studies on lightweight CFST columns at ambient temperature have revealed that foamed concrete can be a beneficial and innovative alternative material. Hence, this study investigates the potential of using foamed concrete in circular hollow steel columns for improving fire resistance. A series of nine fire test on circular unfilled hollow and foamed concrete filled hollow section column were carried out. ISO 834 standard fire exposure test were carried out to investigate the structural response of these columns under fire. The main parameters considered are load level and foamed concrete density; foamed concrete density used are 1500 kg/m3 and 1800 kg/m3 at 15%, 20%, and 25% load level. All the columns tested are without any external fire protection, with concentrically applied load under fixed-fixed boundary conditions. The columns dimension was 2400 mm long, 139.7 mm diameter and steel tube thickness of 6 mm. The fire test result showed that foamed concrete increases the fire resistance of steel hollow column up to an additional 16 minutes. The improvement is more at load level above 15%, and the gain in fire resistance is about 71% when 1500 kg/m3 density foamed concrete is used. Generally, foamed concrete filled steel hollow column demonstrate a good structural fire behavior, based on the applied load and foamed concrete density. Also, inward local buckling was averted by filling the steel hollow column with foamed concrete. General method for composite column design in Eurocode 4 adopted to calculate the axial buckling load of 1500 kg/m3 foamed concrete filled columns.  These type of columns can be used for structures like airports, schools, and stadiums; taking the advantage of exposed steel for aesthetic purpose and high fire resistance. It can also be used for high rise structures; taking advantage of high fire resistance and reduction in self-weight of a structure.
减少自重和达到完全耐火要求是高层结构设计中的一些重要考虑因素。轻质钢管混凝土(CFST)柱提供了一种替代方法来满足这些目的。最近对环境温度下轻质钢管混凝土柱的研究表明,泡沫混凝土是一种有益的创新替代材料。因此,本研究探讨了在圆形空心钢柱中使用泡沫混凝土以提高耐火性能的潜力。对圆形未填充空心和泡沫混凝土填充空心截面柱进行了一系列九次防火试验。进行了ISO 834标准的火灾暴露试验,以研究这些柱在火灾下的结构响应。考虑的主要参数是荷载水平和泡沫混凝土密度;在15%、20%和25%荷载水平下,泡沫混凝土密度分别为1500 kg/m3和1800 kg/m3。所有试验柱均无外部防火,在固定-固定边界条件下集中施加荷载。柱长2400 mm,直径139.7 mm,钢管厚度6 mm。试验结果表明,泡沫混凝土可使钢空心柱的耐火性能增加16分钟。当荷载水平大于15%时,提高幅度更大,当使用密度为1500 kg/m3的泡沫混凝土时,耐火性能提高约71%。一般情况下,基于荷载和泡沫混凝土密度,泡沫混凝土填充钢空心柱具有良好的结构防火性能。同时,用泡沫混凝土填充钢空心柱,避免了内部局部屈曲。采用欧洲规范4中复合柱设计通用方法,计算了1500 kg/m3泡沫混凝土填充柱的轴向屈曲荷载。这种类型的柱子可以用于机场、学校和体育场等结构;利用外露钢的美观性和高防火性。它也可用于高层结构;利用高耐火性和减少结构自重的优势。

The main problems in road construction and maintance work in Ethiopia  availability of a large amount of appropriate quality materials in road construction sites, aggregates in different size fractions are not readily obtainable, necessitating their procurement from long distances, thereby causing an exorbitant increase in construction costs. One of the main problems in constructing the asphalt paving mixture is obtaining a sufficient amount of filler material from crushing fine rock material and low percent using ordinary Portland cement (OPC), hydrated lime (HL) and marble dust. To overcome this problem, it is important to come across alternative filler material to address this gap using naturally available material. Currently, renewed attention has been given to the use of ‘waste’ materials instead of conventional aggregates in pavement construction. This research study investigates the potential use of ‘Enset’ fiber ash as a partial replacement of conventional filler material in hot mix asphalt supported by experimental laboratory investigation. In order to achieve this study, purposive sampling techniques were adopted to select the sample size and location. The study evaluated the potential of ‘Enset’ fiber ash as filler for the design of dense-graded hot mix asphalt by referencing traditional filler control mix procedures based on standard specifications, and a crush rock filler was utilized as a conventional filler material as a control for comparison. The Marshal Stability and Rutting Test (RT) was conducted to determine the HMA specimen's performance. Several HMA specimens were prepared using aggregate blend according to ASTM D 1559 with four different percentages of ‘Enset’ fiber ash (EFA) of 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% filler replacement the total filler weight used in the control mix. Specimens were prepared and tests performed according to EN 12697-22 procedure-B for rutting test. All HMA properties were taken at 4% air void and determined their optimum bitumen content (OBC). Almost the same result with the control mix was observed in the study at 15% and 25% of the ‘Enset’ fiber ash (EFA) replacement. However, higher Marshall Stability, a lower void filled with asphalt, better flow, a good void in mineral were observed at 25% ‘Enset’ fiber ash (EFA) replacement. At this rate, the rutting performance is less than that of the control mix but is within the specifications of 2.78mm and 2.9 mm of rutting depth less than 6mm that satisfies the EN 13108 requirement. As a result, Enset fiber ash filler can replace traditional filler material up to 25% of the total filler weight used in this study. It was recommended to use ‘Enset' fiber ash (EFA) as a filler material as a partial replacement in a bituminous paving mixture up to the specificed percentage by weight replacement.
埃塞俄比亚道路建设和维修工作的主要问题是,在道路建设工地很难获得大量适当的高质量材料,但不同大小的碎石却很难获得,因此必须从很远的地方采购,从而造成建筑费用的过度增加。沥青路面混合料的主要问题之一是通过粉碎细岩材料获得足够的填充材料,而普通硅酸盐水泥(OPC)、水合石灰(HL)和大理石粉尘的填充材料含量低。为了克服这个问题,重要的是遇到替代填充材料,以解决这一差距使用自然可用的材料。目前,人们重新关注在路面施工中使用“废弃”材料代替传统的集料。本研究通过实验研究,探讨了Enset纤维灰分在热混合沥青中部分替代传统填充材料的潜在用途。为了完成这项研究,我们采用了有目的的抽样技术来选择样本量和地点。本研究通过参考传统的基于标准规范的填料控制混合程序,评估了“Enset”纤维灰作为填料在密级配热混合沥青设计中的潜力,并将一种碎石填料作为常规填料材料作为对照进行了比较。通过Marshal稳定性和车辙试验(RT)来确定HMA试件的性能。根据ASTM D 1559的要求,用四种不同比例的Enset纤维灰分(EFA)代替对照混合料中填充剂的总重量,分别为15%、25%、35%和45%,使用骨料混合料制备了几个HMA试样。根据EN 12697-22程序b进行车辙试验,制备样品并进行试验。所有HMA性能在4%的空气含量下进行测定,并确定其最佳沥青含量(OBC)。在15%和25%的“Enset”纤维灰分(EFA)替代品的对照混合物中观察到几乎相同的结果。然而,在25%的Enset纤维灰分(EFA)替代品中,观察到更高的马歇尔稳定性,更低的沥青填充空隙,更好的流动性,良好的矿物空隙。在此速率下,车辙性能低于对照混合物,但在满足EN 13108要求的2.78mm和2.9 mm车辙深度小于6mm的规格范围内。因此,Enset纤维灰分填料可替代传统填料,占本研究中所用填料总重量的25%。建议使用“Enset”纤维灰分(EFA)作为填充材料,在沥青路面混合料中部分替代,达到规定的重量替代百分比。
