assessment for sustainable use of quarry fines as Pavement Construction materials part ii stabilization and characterization of quarry fine materials
Materials, 2019Co-Authors: Yinning Zhang, Leena Korkialatanttu, Mari BorenAbstract:A secondary by-product, quarry fines, has previously been investigated for applications in high volume as Pavement Construction materials. Results from a series of laboratory tests suggest qualified basic properties except for the possibility of frost susceptibility for the virgin quarry fines. In Part II of the research, stabilized quarry fine specimens were prepared and investigated in view of the mechanical behavior, and the durability represented by susceptibility to freezing and thawing cycles. The unconfined compressive strength, which is also the commonly used strength indicator, was adopted to evaluate the validity of the stabilized quarry fines as Pavement Construction materials. The laboratory-determined parameters were then compared among specimens treated with different stabilizers and with the typical requirements for Pavement base/subbase layers. The stabilized quarry fines can be qualified for applications in Pavement base, subbase and filter layer depending on the types of stabilizers used and degrees of compaction achieved.

assessment for sustainable use of quarry fines as Pavement Construction materials part i description of basic quarry fine properties
Materials, 2019Co-Authors: Yinning Zhang, Leena Korkialatanttu, Henry Gustavsson, Amandine MiksicAbstract:As a secondary material, quarry fines are a valuable material to be reused for many purposes in civil engineering projects. The aggregate source depletion, especially the lack of high quality aggregates as expected in the future, as well as the demand for a carbon-neutral society and circular economy, also promotes the high-volume utilization of secondary materials such as quarry fines. The aim of this study is to do a feasibility assessment including a series of laboratory tests and analyses to evaluate the properties of quarry fine materials to determine if this type of material could be qualified as Pavement Construction material in high volume. The gradation information obtained from both sieving and hydrometer tests indicates the frost susceptibility of unstabilized quarry fines, therefore frost heave tests were performed and which further suggest the necessity of stabilization to improve its properties for Pavement applications, especially in structural layers such as base, subbase, or filter layers. Some other general information and properties of unbound quarry fines, especially regarding their validity for application in Pavement engineering are also investigated and discussed.

development of a life cycle assessment tool to quantify the environmental impacts of airport Pavement Construction
Transportation Research Record, 2017Co-Authors: Rebekah Yang, Imad L AlqadiAbstract:The environmental impacts of airport Pavement Construction were evaluated in this study through a life-cycle analysis approach. Total primary energy (TPE) consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from material production and Construction of Pavement were determined by using life-cycle assessment (LCA), a quantitative methodology described in the ISO 14040 series. A tool was developed to implement a probabilistic LCA through the Monte Carlo method. This tool allowed for consideration of uncertainty from life-cycle inventory data. A case study on the Construction of Runway 10R-28L at Chicago O’Hare International Airport focused on mainline and shoulder Pavement designs. Environmental impacts from producing materials for the Pavements increased from lower to upper layers, while asphalt layers had relatively higher TPE consumption than the upper portland cement concrete layer—and vice versa for GHGs. Impacts from material production overshadowed those from Construction, which contributed less than 2% of...
