“…An original experimental method was used to investigate the influence of water and road salt with an anti-caking agent on the material used in pavement construction layers [ 58 ]. This method allowed the monitoring of material changes resulting from the influence of water and road salt with an anti-caking agent over time.…”

“…Based on the measurements of the stiffness modulus and absorption, the correlations of the mass change and the value of the stiffness modulus were determined, which may be useful in estimating the sensitivity of mixes to the use of winter maintenance agents, e.g., road salt with an anti-caking agent (sodium chloride). It was found that the greatest changes occur with mixes intended for base course layers (mineral cement mix with foamed asphalt (MCAS) and mineral-cement-emulsion mixes (MCE)), and that the smallest changes occur for mixes containing highly modified asphalt (HIMA) [ 58 ].…”

This issue is proposed and organized as a means to present recent developments in the field of testing of materials in civil engineering. For this reason, the articles highlighted in this issue should relate to different aspects of testing of different materials in civil engineering, from building materials and elements to building structures. The current trend in the development of materials testing in civil engineering is mainly concerned with the detection of flaws and defects in elements and structures using destructive, semi-destructive, and nondestructive testing. The trend, as in medicine, is toward designing test equipment that allows one to obtain a picture of the inside of the tested element and materials. Very interesting results with significance for building practices of testing of materials and elements in civil engineering were obtained.

“…In addition to the anions and cations of salts, the presence of other compounds related to anti-caking agents is a concern in runoff water containing road de-icing salts. Anti-caking agents are used to prevent salt agglomeration when applied on roads (Mackiewicz & Mączka, 2021). In particular, a brine solution forms between salt crystals when the relative atmospheric humidity exceeds 70-75%.…”

To ensure road safety during winter, it is necessary to use de‐icing salts. However, the detrimental effects of these salts on aquatic ecosystems, vegetation, lakes, ground and surface water, and soils have become a major concern in recent years. This review aims to discuss the adverse environmental impact of using de‐icing salts on the environment and explore current conventional methods used for managing and treating runoff water. Additionally, desalination techniques in terms of their effectiveness and energy requirements have been discussed. By comparing energy costs and considering the salinity levels of runoff water containing de‐icing salts, electrodialysis as a potential technique is introduced to be combined with conventional approaches for removing and recovering salt from runoff water loaded from road de‐icing salt.

Evaluation of Linear Deformation and Unloading Stiffness Characteristics of Asphalt Mixtures Incorporating Various Aggregate Gradations

et al. 2021

Optimum stiffness and linear deformation in the unloading phase are fundamental properties of asphalt mixtures required for the durability of flexible pavements. In this research, blends of six different aggregate gradations were used for two base course (BC) and four wearing course (WC) asphalt mixtures. Stability and indirect tensile strength of resulting asphalt mixtures were evaluated to relate to viscoelastic unloading deformation and resilient moduli (instantaneous (MRI) and total (MRT)) at 25 °C using a 40/50 binder for 0.1 and 0.3 s load durations. Results indicated that an increase in coarse aggregate proportion from 48 to 70% for BC has shown a 12% and 14% increase in MRT for 0.1 and 0.3 s load durations, respectively, and an increase in coarse aggregate proportion from 41 to 57.5% for WC has caused a 26% and 20% increase in MRI for 0.1 and 0.3 s load durations, respectively. The same coarse aggregate proportions showed an increase in linear viscoelastic deformation at 0.1 s load duration from 54.6 to 68.2% for WC and from 53.0 to 62.7% for BC, whereas for 0.3 s load duration linear viscoelastic deformation increased from 58.1 to 69.1% for WC and 64.3 to 69.2% for BC. The findings of this study will assist in the selection of aggregate gradations to be used in wearing and base course asphalt mixtures for pavement design, construction and maintenance.
