Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

Using a simply supported pre-stressed concrete beam, explain the following status using stress diagrams: Stress condition due to pre-stress alone. Change of stress conditions due to the increment of external load: Decompression moment (bottom fibre compression = 0); Cracking moment (tensile strength develops at the bottom and starts cracking at the bottom); and Balance state (whole section is at an equal amount of compression).
You are assigned to monitor the concrete strength gain at a construction site. The ultimate compressive strength of the concrete at its full maturity is 450 kg/m. The average concrete temperature at the construction site is 25 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night (assuming 12-hour day/night cycles). If you assume that the datum temperature (To) is - 10 °C, estimate the strength of concrete after 14 days. (4=35, B=51)Maturity Index, M = E(T - To).

The flexural strength (fr) of concrete measured from the bending test is always higher than the direct tensile strength (ft). In reality, the stress in the cracked part of the concrete is lower than ft. Also, failure may occur on the compressive side. Assuming NO tension softening (i.e., the stress in the cracked part stays at ft) and infinite compressive strength (i.e., compressive failure will never occur), draw the stress distribution over the depth of the beam at ultimate failure when the curvature of the section is approaching infinity. With this stress distribution, show that the upper bound of fr/ft is equal to 3. (Hint: On rotating the section, because the compressive stress can increase well beyond ft, the neutral axis will continue to shift upwards.)
