Enhancing asphaltic mixtures with Calcined Nano Montmorillonite: A performance assessment (2023)
Journal Article
Albayati, A. H., Wang, Y., & Al-ani, A. F. (2024). Enhancing asphaltic mixtures with Calcined Nano Montmorillonite: A performance assessment. Case studies in construction materials, 20, e02713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cscm.2023.e02713

There are increasing interest in using nanoclay particles to improve asphalt binder and the produced concrete in pavement engineering. However so far most of the study was to directly use the nanoclays in natural material conditions, which come with...

Experimental Study of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Hydrated Lime Asphalt Concrete and Numerical Modelling of Constructed Pavement Performance (2023)
Thesis

The flexible pavement suffers primarily from three types of distress: fatigue cracking, thermal cracking, and permanent deformation. Thermal effects from climate are a significant in distress and early aging of pavements, and particularly in extreme...

A mathematical model for the motion of a micro-robot consisting of three spheres linked with axially aligned retractable arms in Stokes flow that gives expressions for mean distance moved, mean drift velocity and energy efficiency of the non-reciprocal cyclic swimming motion (2023)
Journal Article

The problem studied was the non-reciprocal cyclic swimming motion of three spheres linked with axially aligned retractable arms in Stokes flow. The arms are assumed to be able to retract at a steady speed to half their length, and then at a later tim...

A Review of Interface Bonding Testing Techniques (2023)
Journal Article
Ali, M., Albayati, A. H., & Wang, Y. (2023). A Review of Interface Bonding Testing Techniques. Journal of Engineering, 29(09), 14-30. https://doi.org/10.31026/j.eng.2023.09.02

Interface bonding between asphalt layers has been a topic of international investigation over the last thirty years. In this condition, a number of researchers have made their own techniques and used them to examine the characteristics of pavement in...

Research on the improvement of wetted perimeter method and application in seasonal rivers-a case study of Fenhe River, China. (2023)
Journal Article

Environmental flow is vital for maintaining river ecosystem health and ensuring the normal growth of aquatic organisms. The wetted perimeter method is indeed very useful in the assessment of environmental flow due to consideration of stream forms and...
