A research team in Department of Civil Engineering manufactured a creep measuring device for flexible paving.

 The aim:

To know the mixtures the phenomenon of rutting, after the methods were completed for the loads at the highest  temperatures.

 Machine manufacturing team:

- Dr. Talal Hussein Fadel.

- Mr. Thamer Yusuf Ahmed.

- Dr.. Akram Shaker Mahmoud.

 The details:

Traffic on the highway, traffic movement and arises as a result of traffic kinetic loads, when the movement of the pavement layer pushes, it generates short and high waves on the surface of the pavement layer.  Temperatures reach up to 50 ° C in the shade at Summer and reach the temperature to 70 ° C in the specified areas of sunlight. The current development in the information on models that some changes may occur in the general properties of the mixture.

 

 The main parts of the machine:

1-      The device cabin is thermally insulated.

2-      Lower and upper supports for the loading box.

3-      Loading box.

4-      Rods of longitudinal support.

5-      Load cell 0.1 Newton.

6-      Electronic temperature sensor.
