Analysis of calculation methods for life cycle greenhouse gas emissions for road sector
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Climate change is one of the main nowadays problem in the world. The politics and strategies for climate change and tools for reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and green technologies are created and implemented. ... -
Analysis of methods and criteria for evaluation of bitumen performance at low temperatures
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Thermal cracking is the dominant pavement failure in the cold regions. After each winter, the newly appeared cracks have to be sealed. However, after a few years depending on the sealing method the previously sealed cracks ... -
Asphalt pavement interlayer systems for structural performance enhancement and fatigue reduction
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)One of the possible alternatives to extend the service life of the pavement, reducing the maintenance costs of the pavement and possibly the thickness of the overlay, is the use of grids as a reinforcing interlayer of newly ... -
Classification of surface temperature for the flexible pavement design
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Surface temperature significantly affects the asphalt layers modulus and entire pavement structure response to vehicles traffic loading. Because of the rheological properties of bitumen binders, the asphalt performs similarly ... -
Comparison of the performance of flexible and roller-compacted concrete pavement structures
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Slip-form concrete (Joint plain concrete pavement) has number of years of good performance experience. As experience showed such technology is cost efficient only for high capacity roads, where very strict requirements for ... -
Effect of dielectric constant on asphalt layers thickness based on ground penetrating radar data analysis
(11th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2020), 2020)The ground penetrating radar (GPR) in roads is use to investigate the pavement structure layers thickness on network and project level, misaligned dowels and tie bar in concrete pavement, moisture and ground water level, ... -
Evaluation of high-quality dolomite aggregate for asphalt wearing course
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)In Lithuania dolomite is the third most excavated by the amount mineral resource, which is mostly used in subbase layer and hot asphalt mixtures for asphalt binder and base courses. Although, for asphalt wearing layer are ... -
FTIR-ATR spectroscopy to identify and quantify the SBS in modified bitumen
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with attenuated total reflexion (ATR) technique is a rapid and suitable method for identifying and preliminary quantifying the ... -
Geogrid reinforced subgrade influence to ensure paved road durability
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Geosynthetic materials are more and more often used for subgrade reinforcement and/or stabilisation. Geosynthetic reinforcement products used for paved and unpaved roads or traffic areas function on the basis of two ... -
The influence of crumb rubber on modified bitumen properties
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Rubber derived from grinding of recycled cars and trucks tyres may be successfully used as a bitumen modifier. Number of researches reported sufficient characteristics of rubber modified asphalt binders or modified asphalt ... -
Influence of low noise barrier height on sound insertion loss
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)Ensuring the best possible quality of the living environment is the worldwide aim. One of the very important factors strongly affecting people’s health is the traffic produced noise, the reduction of which to permissible ... -
The key issues of road design found from road safety inspections and road safety audits
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)In order to reduce accident rate on roads and streets more and more various road safety measures are being implemented each year. Nevertheless, road safety problem exists in most countries. For example, even though accident ... -
Performance of MSWI bottom ash under freezing and thawing
(12th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2023), 2023)The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of municipal solid waste incinerator (MSWI) bottom ash under freezing and thawing and how it disintegrates. For this purpose, three different MSWI bottom ash samples, ... -
Review of Lithuanian experience in asphalt pavements cold recycling
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)One of the key goals in the EU White Paper is to reduce carbon emissions in transport by 60% by 2050. Consequently, during the past years an effect on the environment became a decisive factor in selecting materials and ... -
Surface type and age effects on tyre/road noise levels
(10th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2017), 2017)Road surface characteristics are the core influencing factors for tyre/road noise generation mechanisms. Depending on the pavement wearing layer mixture composition, type surfaces have different acoustical properties. ... -
Traffic capacity analysis in a one-lane roadwork zone
(11th International Conference “Environmental Engineering” (ICEE-2020), 2020)Interventions to road are always required to keep road network in a good condition for this reason road works such as maintenance or reconstruction are carried out regularly.
