The development of road network infrastructure is an important component of the economic development of the European Union. Updating of the road network contributes to the integration of the economies of countries into a coherent whole. The road network provides the free movement of citizens, the movement of goods and the effective implementation of various services. The increase in the length of the road network leads to an increase in the financial and material costs necessary to ensure its maintenance and repair. One of the ways to reduce costs is by strengthening the physic-mechanical and operational characteristics of the pavement due to the widespread use of cement concrete. The quality of the pavement of cement concrete depends largely on the rational selection of its composition. This allows a significant increase in the durability of road pavement. The purpose of the research was: the development of recommendations for the rational selection of the composition of the road pavement material of cement concrete, aimed at upgrading longevity, and taking into account its frost resistance grade. According to the goal, the following tasks were developed: the analyses of the climatic zones in which the road network of the European Union is located; the development of a research plan, a selection of the response function and influence factors; the study of physico-mechanical and operational characteristics of the researched material of road pavement; on the basis of the obtained data, the calculation of the complex of experimental-statistical models, which describe the physico-mechanical and operational characteristics of the road pavement material; on the basis of experimental statistical models, a method was proposed for selecting the rational compositions of the cement concrete pavement road material depending on the conditions of its application. The results presented in the article can be used in engineering and scientific practice for the selection of road pavement from cement concrete for highways.

Degree Of Degradation

An important factor that affects the safety of flight operations is the proper management of airports, which should be based on the obtained in systematic way information about the state of the surface of the functional elements. One of the characteristic quantities of the technical condition of airport indicator is the assessment of the degree of degradation. It should be noted that the degradation is a slow process extended in time and is the lowering of the properties of the structure by external influences, which in turn generates the changes in their structure. Rating degrade surface should be conducted periodically, which period shall be estimated on the basis of information obtained from the process of the operation of aircraft. Demotions surface is determined on the basis of the type and quantity survey found damage and made repairs. The basis for evaluating the degree of surface degradation is to obtain data from surveys conducted using the method of visual and inventory of them. Research by visual method, despite its apparent simplicity, it is difficult to implement. Qualification of damage or repairs to the appropriate group is often not clear, and therefore the inventory process is described in the documentation of quality management system. The multi-criteria analysis is a method of evaluating the weighted supporting estimating the degree of degradation airfield pavements based on data obtained through inspections performed. Its base is included in the determination of a number of criteria for the selection variant, taking into account different weights to each criterion. The value of the indicator characterizing the degree of surface degradation in relation to estimated criteria allows you to schedule the necessary resources needed to carry out repairs and rational planning of repairs.

Road pavement roughness, in terms of skid resistance, can be described from a geometrical point of view as a texture or from a physical point of view as friction between a tire and a road surface. The paper deals with the comparison of asphalt and concrete pavement surface on selected newly built sections of the D1 motorway near the Ovčiarsko tunnel. Texture measurements were performed with a Static Road Scanner (SRS) capable of recording surface irregularities up to the microtexture level (2.49 µm resolution). A pendulum was used to determine the friction. Subsequently, the texture was evaluated using individual amplitude and wavelength characteristics and the friction was evaluated using the PTV parameter. Finally, correlations were searched between the roughness characteristics of asphalt concrete and cement concrete pavements, but also between texture and friction characteristics.

The Cost

With open-pit mining method in Kuzbass is widely used automobile transport, transportation costs up to 70% of the cost of coal production. It is not economically feasible to use asphalt concrete and cement concrete as a material of temporary technological roads, and the use of crushed coal-bearing rocks will make it possible to increase the efficiency of coal mining by open method. Currently, the question of the application of the coal-bearing rocks for building temporary technological roads is poorly studied. The paper proposes a method of determining the thickness of road pavements of technological roads, which can be applied directly by the mining company, their analysis has been carried out, the dependence from the strength factor and the category of blockiness of foundation rocks has been determined.

Reliability Performance

The reliability performance of Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipments (SME) is very important for both equipment manufacturers and customers. However, the response variables are random in nature and can significantly change due to many factors. In order to track the equipment reliability performance with certain confidence, this paper proposes an efficient methodology to calculate the number of samples needed to measure the reliability performance of the SME tools. This paper presents a frequency-based Statistics methodology to calculate the number of sampled tools to evaluate the SME reliability field performance based on certain confidence levels and error margins. One example case has been investigated to demonstrate the method. We demonstrate that the multiple weeks accumulated average reliability metrics of multiple tools do not equal the average of the multiple weeks accumulated average reliability metrics of these tools. We show how the number of required sampled tools increases when the reliability performance is improved and quantify the larger number of sampled tools required when a tighter margin of error or higher confidence level is needed.

Test Results

Field testing of gas turbine or electric motor driven compressor packages requires the accurate determination of efficiency, capacity, head, or power consumption in sometimes less than ideal working environments. Nonetheless, field test results have significant implication for the compressor and gas turbine manufacturers and their customers. Economic considerations demand that the performance and efficiency of an installation are verified to assure the return on investment for the project. Thus, for the compressor and gas turbine manufacturers, as well as for the end-user, an accurate determination of the field performance is of vital interest. This paper discusses a method to determine the measurement uncertainty and, thus, the accuracy, of test results under the typical constraints of a site performance test, for compressors capable of variable speed operation. Namely, a method is presented which can be employed to verify the validity of field test performance results. Results are compared with actual field test results, using redundant methods. Typical field test measurement uncertainties are presented for different sets of instrumentation. The effect of different equations of state on the calculated performance is also discussed. Test parameters that correlate to the most significant influence on the performance uncertainties are identified and suggestions are provided on how to minimize their measurement errors. Results show that compressor efficiency uncertainties can be unacceptably high when some basic rules for accurate testing are violated. However, by following some simple measurement rules and maintaining commonality of the gas equations of state, the overall compressor package performance measurement uncertainty can be limited and meaningful results can be achieved.

The Impact

SummaryPavements made of cement concrete, used for road constructions, are damaged during use. This applies to both the pavements of rural and forest roads with very low traffic loads, as well as road pavements with high traffic loads. One of the most effective ways of repairing damaged concrete cement pavements is through placing an asphalt overlay on a concrete slab. In order to increase the fatigue life of the asphalt overlay, asphalt mixtures are modified with fibres. One technological solution is to use FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer), an innovative material with improved properties. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of asphalt overlays modified with a new type of fibres to strengthen the durability of weakened cement concrete pavement structures. On the basis of the conducted analyses, it was shown that the use of an asphalt layer reinforcement increases fatigue life, for both 15 cm thick prefabricated slabs and a typical road pavement for average traffic made of 25 cm doweled and anchored concrete slabs. There was a significant increase in the fatigue life of the concrete pavement structure as a result of modifying the overlaid asphalt mixture with FRP fibres.
