The asphalt coating is the layer responsible for resisting the traffic stresses of a highway. However, the search for new materials to mitigate environmental impacts and improve pavement quality is increasing. Thus, the mechanical behavior of asphalt mixtures was analyzed through the four-point bending test after the molding process and aged, with the participation of residues in the form of charcoal. The frequencies of 1Hz, 3Hz, 5Hz, 10Hz, 20Hz and 1Hz are considered at temperatures of 25°C and 40°C. The aging process contributed to improve the mechanical characteristics of the charcoal mixture at a temperature of 25 ° C, considering that there was an increase in stiffness at frequencies from 1 to 20 Hz, as well as a reduction in phase angle at frequencies of 3 Hz. , 5 Hz, 10 Hz and 20 Hz.

The effects of aging on the fatigue property of polymer modified asphalt mixtures are investigated in this paper. Two kinds of aging procedures are adopted for the aging of specimens prepared with polymer modified asphalt mixtures. One is the short-time aging which means that the hot asphalt mixtures was heated in the oven for 4 hours at 135°C before compacted; The other called natural aging, with the original specimen exposed in the sunlight and subjected to the rain and temperature change for 3, 6 and 9 months. Four-Point Bending Test was conducted to evaluate fatigue properties of aged asphalt mixtures at 15°C compared with the original specimens. Test results indicate that the fatigue line of aged specimens have the same tendency as the original asphalt mixtures. However, the life of aged specimen is decreased significantly when compared with the original ones, especially of the natural aged specimens.

TEST OF MINERAL ASPHALT MIXTURES IN THE STATIC FOUR POINTBENDING TEST AT TEMPERATURE 25°C The article presents an experimental method for testing beams made of AC16W mineralasphalt mix in a static four-point bending test. Tests were performed at a fixed measuring temperature of 25°C and for different load levels. The conditions of the study that specify the variable characteristics of asphalt mixtures were specified. Attention was paid to the material specificity of the mixturesand the variability of the stiffness modulus was analyzed. Different ways of its determination with different load cycles are presented. The obtained results of the modules were compared with the results obtained in the dynamic test. The identification of the secant modulus from the dependence of the load curve between strain and stress for the first cycle was indicated.

In the interest of reducing the weight and also cost of blade skins, various automatic preform manufacturing processes were developed including tape laying, filament winding and braiding. Among them, the circular braiding process was found to be an efficient method in producing seamless preforms on mandrels with various geometries. In this regard, an attempt was made to produce a carbon fiber reinforced composite with the shape of NACA 23018 airfoil using a circular braiding machine. Thus, suitable wooden mandrels were manufactured using NACA 23018 airfoil coordinates, which were obtained by assuming the perimeter of 20 cm. Furthermore, both biaxially and triaxially braided preforms were produced and subsequently impregnated with epoxy resin through an appropriate fabrication method. To assess their performance, four-point bending test was carried out on samples. Ultimately, the elastic response of braided composite airfoils was predicted using a meso-scale finite element modeling and was validated with experimental results.
