Road constructions are most relevant. This article provides data on the improvement of the properties of road construction materials, including those added to the soil: stabilized soil and adhesive asphalt concrete. Because of the impact of the above-mentioned additives, the accumulation of residual deformations in the structural layers of road products are reduced. The analysis of the market of the Russian Federation, which resulted in the identification of the following most preferred options for additives for research: ANT for soil stabilization and Amdor-10 and DAD-1 mark C for asphalt concrete. For asphalt concrete, several additivies were considered, since this is the most important structural layer in road pavement, perceiving the load from passing vehicles. This article provides comparative tables and graphs, which provide data on changes in the physic-mechanical properties of materials (soils and asphalt concrete) as a result of the application of the above additives. All tests were performed in accordance with the current regulatory documentation, and all the necessary requirements for the test materials were met. Were also obtained materials for testing. With the help of this device the possibility of resisting the accumulation of residual deformations is estimated. There is an imitation of situations in which materials are in real road. As a result, data were obtained that the use of stabilizing additives for soil and adhesive fabric reduces the accumulation of residual deformations and, as a result, increases the turnaround time between repairs.

The road industry is one of the important components of the economy. Quantitative and qualitative changes in the road industry require new technological approaches to road construction. The higher the transport-operational level of roads, the less the negative consequences of motorization are manifested. The condition of highways and their compliance with the international standards largely depends on the observance of construction technologies of road pavement, and the road pavement itself should have layers of strong, frost and temperature resistant monolithic materials which provide a long period of exploitation. The paper presents the peculiarities of the application of different types of modifiers for bitumen. It discusses their advantages and disadvantages, the importance of selecting the composition of the bituminous and mineral mixture. The use of crumb rubber as a modifier allows to realize the concept of a closed resource-saving technology of construction of roads. This approach will allow, on a technologically sound basis and taking into account the real needs of road construction materials, to restore the road network.

This article considers how a First Nations Voice to Parliament, if carefully designed, could strengthen the land-based sovereignty and autonomy of First Peoples in Australia. It critiques the proposals presented in the Indigenous Voice Co-design Process' Interim Report released January 2021 for its emphasis on the role of government and existing structures. It responds to Indigenous critiques of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, while arguing for a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament that respects and defers to First Nations' Country-based authority.

The reduction in natural resources and aspects of environmental protection necessitate alternative uses of waste materials in the area of construction. Recycling is also observed in road construction where mineral–cement emulsion (MCE) mixtures are applied. The MCE mix is a conglomerate that can be used to make the base layer in road pavement structures. MCE mixes contain reclaimed asphalt from old, degraded road surfaces, aggregate improving the gradation, asphalt emulsion, and cement as a binder. The use of these ingredients, especially cement, can cause shrinkage and cracks in road layers. The article presents selected issues related to the problem of cracking in MCE mixtures. The authors of the study focused on reducing the cracking phenomenon in MCE mixes by using an innovative cement binder with recycled materials. The innovative cement binder based on dusty by-products from cement plants also contributes to the optimization of the recycling process in road surfaces. The research was carried out in the field of stiffness, fatigue life, crack resistance, and shrinkage analysis of mineral–cement emulsion mixes. It was found that it was possible to reduce the stiffness and the cracking in MCE mixes. The use of innovative binders will positively affect the durability of road pavements.

AbstractThis article presents the results of the zooarchaeological analysis of an assemblage dating to the second quarter of the 16th century that was discovered on the current university campus of Cartuja, on the outskirts of Granada (Andalusia, Spain). During the Middle Ages, this area was largely used for agricultural purposes, including as estates owned by high officials of the Nasrid dynasty, the last Islamicate polity in the Iberian Peninsula. The Castilian conquest of Granada in 1492 brought significant changes to the area, with the construction of a Carthusian monastery and the transformation of the surrounding landscape, including changes in property structures, different agrarian regimes and the demolition of pre-existing structures. Among these transformations was the filling up of a well with construction materials, and its further use as a rubbish dump. This fill yielded an interesting and unique zooarchaeological assemblage, the study of which is presented here. The results advance our understanding of changing patterns in animal consumption during the formative transition from the Middle Ages to the Early Modern period at the heart of the former Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, and indicate the continuity of some Andalusi consumption patterns along with specialised production and distribution systems of meat products that have no archaeological precedent in the region, suggesting that the bones were dumped by a possible ‘Morisco’ community (autochthonous Muslims forced to convert to Christianity in 1502).

AbstractInvestigation into the cause of road failure has been carried out along a 60 km long Sagamu –Papalanto highway southwestern Nigeria. Geochemical, mineralogical, geotechnical and geophysical analyses were conducted to evaluate the cause of failure along the study area. The results of the laboratory tests showed that the percentage amount of fines ranges from 12 to 61.3%, natural moisture content from 6.8 to 19.7%, liquid limit in the range of 25.1–52.2%, linear shrinkage between 3.96 to 12.71%, plastic limit ranges from 18.2–35%, plasticity index ranges from 5.2 to 24.6%, free swell in the range from 5.17–43.9%, maximum dry density ranges from 1.51–1.74 g /cm3, specific gravity ranges from 2.52–2.64 and CBR between 3 and 12%. The Cone Penetrometer Test (CPT) shows a resistance value of 20–138 kgf/cm2. The major clay mineral that is predominant in the studied soil is kaolinite. The major oxides present are SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, K2O, Na2O, MgO and CaO. The result of the 2D Electrical Resistivity Imaging revealed a low resistivity values for profile 2 and 3 ranging from 100 Ωm – 300 Ωm, between a distance of 20 m – 240 m along the profile to a depth of 7.60 m and a low resistivity value ranging from 50 Ωm – 111Ωm, between a distance of 80 m − 120 m along the profile to a depth of 15 m. It was concluded that the low CBR, low MDD and the class of subsoils namely A-26, A-7, A-2-7 (clayey soils) which were identified are responsible for the cause of failure experienced in the study area. These makes the soils unsuitable as road construction materials and hence, there is need for stabilization during the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the road.
