Preparation and Characterization of Composites Materials with Rubber Matrix and with Polyvinyl Chloride Addition (PVC)
2020
An important problem that arises at present refers to the increase in performances in the exploitation of the conveyor belts. Additionally, it is pursued to use some materials, which can be obtained by recycling rubber and PVC waste, in their structure. Thus, the research aimed at creating conveyor belts using materials obtained from the recycling of rubber and PVC waste. Under these conditions, conveyor belts were made that had in their structure two types of rubber and PVC, which was obtained by adding in certain proportions of reclaimed rubber and powder obtained from grinding rubber waste. In order to study the effect of adding PVC on properties, four types of conveyor belts were made, …
Characterization of rubberized asphalt for railway sub-ballast. Improvements in the mix-design, performance features and rational methodology of HMA_…
2018
(STR) can be incorporated into asphalt mixtures in two different methods, which are referred to as the wet-dry process. The blending of recycled rubber (CRM) with asphalt has been used for years, and several manufacturing processes have been developed in Europe as well as in the USA. The use of a bituminous sub-ballast layer has been pointed out as an exciting alternative to the granular sub-ballast design traditionally applied in most railroad tracks. Frequently, unbound granular materials are replaced by bituminous sub-ballast that provide additional benefits to the subgrade protection. Much research has been conducted on finding other alternative material to be used as a modifier in asph…
Experimental Studies Regarding Mechanical Behaviour of Textile Reinforcements Laminated Composite Materials
2013
The aim of this paper is to determine the mechanical properties of textile reinforcements laminated composite material and to establish the influence of thickness about these properties. The composite material used for this is a laminated sheet of HGW 2082. In order to study the mechanical behaviour of these kinds of materials we select two experimental tests: uniaxial test and bending test. For the uniaxial test we have measured the maximum load, the maximum extension, the maximum tensile stress and the maximum tensile strain. Also, using an optical extensometer we measured the major and the minor strains. For the bending test we measured the maximum load and the maximum bending deflection…
CHARACTERIZATION OF RUBBERIZED ASPHALT FOR RAILWAY SUB-BALLASTS
Tesi di dottorato sotto la supervisione del professore Gaetano di Mino del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile di Palermo), come borsista Marie-Curie all'interno del progetto SUPRITN 2013/2017. Il mio lavoro e la linea della ricerca riguarda i conglomerati bituminosi con granulato di gomma per lo strato di sub-ballast nelle linee ferroviarie. L’attività di ricerca comprende il mix-design dell’asfalto con aggiunta di gomma, la caratterizzazione e le prestazioni per la ferrovia in termini di comportamento meccanico e lo smorzamento delle vibrazioni. In particolare con l’avvento dell’alta velocità, diversi studi hanno evidenziato ottime caratteristiche fisico-meccaniche per ciò che riguarda il c…
