Abrasion resistance is a critical durability parameter of foamed concrete applied in floor screeds and wear - exposed surface layers. Owing to its cellular structure, abrasion performance depends on bubble morphology, including size, distribution and uniformity. This paper presents an experimental study combining high - magnification microscopy wit...

This paper analyzes the impact of the quality of geodetic base, i.e., the method of obtaining spatial data for the purposes of road design. Quantities of earthworks, shape and size of the road body obtained by designing the road on geodetic base obtained from different sources (LiDAR scanning, topographic maps, and Open-source data) are compared to...

In the pavement structure, stresses and deformations occur due to the effect of the environment and traffic load. The stresses that will occur mostly depend on the traffic load, the type of materials used, the modulus of elasticity of the materials used, the thickness of the layers... Due to the effect of the environment and traffic on the pavement...

The paper presents the results of our own experimental research on the effect of the high range water reducing admixture content – HRWRA (applied in the range from 0.8 to 1.2% by mass of cement – mc) on the properties of self-compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The research showed that increasing the HRWRA content lead...
