This article discusses the results of bitumen foam properties optimisation with respect to three factors: air pressure, bitumen temperature and amount of water. The test materials were unmodified bitumen 50/70 and bitumen 50/70 modified with 2.5% synthetic wax. The experiment was designed according to the 3 fractional factorial design. The distribution of parameters of bitumen foam were measured with the authors' original apparatus using a laser beam. This measurement method increased the accuracy of maximum expansion ratio (ER) and half-life (HL) estimation. Based on HL and ER results, it was found that the foaming process increased bitumen stiffness due to the dynamic ageing of the bitumen. The experimental design allows more effective control over the properties of foamed bitumen with respect to its intended use. The presence of synthetic wax extended the half-life of the bitumen foam.

Aqueous film forming foam (AFFF)-impacted asphalt and concrete may serve as potential secondary sources of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to the environment through surficial leaching. We aimed to understand the vertical distribution and surficial release of PFAS from AFFF-impacted asphalt and concrete cores collected from various locations (∼10-70 m distance between samples). Among the PFAS analyzed, 6:2 FTS was observed as having the highest concentration in the surface layer (0 - 0.

The mechanical properties of polyurethane grouting materials were significantly improved when cement, sodium meta-silicate, red mud, slag, and fly ash were added. However, the grouting mechanisms of polyurethane composite materials are not clear. The grouting mechanisms of polyurethane composite materials in asphalt pavement subsidence were investigated.

The thermal properties of pavement layers made of concrete with varying bulk densities are a particularly interesting topic in the context of development road technologies. If a hybrid layer system is used as a starting point, with thin asphalt layers (from 1 cm to 4 cm) laid on top of a foam concrete layer, thermal properties begin to play a crucial role. The main research problem was to create a test method enabling the assessment of the influence of solar heating on the thermal parameters of the building material, especially cement concrete.
