In Lithuania dolomite is the third most excavated by the amount mineral resource, which is mostly used in subbase layer and hot asphalt mixtures for asphalt binder and base courses. Although, for asphalt wearing layer are often used granite aggregates, but this magmatic rock is imported from foreign countries. In one of the quarries of JSC “Dolomitas” higher quality dolomite is produced, which has similar mechanical properties to granite. To determine changes in mechanical properties of the different type of aggregates while using in the road, high-quality dolomite and two types of granite were chosen for laboratory testing. In this study, for evaluation of physical and mechanical properties of aggregates by laboratory tests for determining resistance to freezing-thawing, resistance to fragmentation, and polished stone value were carried out. Also, according to the results of laboratory testing, high-quality dolomite aggregate showed equal performance comparing to granite aggregates.

The article provides material on the study of chemical-thermomechanical pulp (CTMM) from poplar wood, produced by the Chinese company WeifangderuibioloDgical TECHNOLODGY CO., LTD. As a result of the research, it was established that CTMP of poplar wood has the ability to be easily milled with a significant increase (by 30–80%) of physical and mechanical properties. The interval of the possible degree of grinding, in which the mass can be used with the greatest efficiency, is recommended 30–50 °SR. CTMM in unbleached form is a high-quality primary semi-finished fibrous material that can be effectively used in combination with waste fiber for the production of corrugated paper and cardboard for flat layers of corrugated cardboard (test liner). Adding weight to the composition is appropriate in the range of 20–50%. CTMM in bleached form is a high-quality primary fiber for the production of base paper for various sanitary purposes. Compositions with bleached cellulose, in which cellulose should be added within 15–20%, will differ in high efficiency in imparting properties to paper. When using coniferous sapwood (pine, larch), a characteristic large-tonnage waste of Russian enterprises, an increase in the mechanical properties of the mass is expected by 20–30%. Such a mass will be a significant factor in the development of the production of containerboard, sanitary and hygienic, as well as other types of paper and cardboard. The CTMM technology offered by the Chinese company WeifangderuibioloDgical TECHNOLODGY CO., LTD is recommended for use by Russian timber merchants. In terms of its importance, the technology is capable of solving the tasks of developing the production of pulp, paper and cardboard, provided for in the Strategy for the Development of the Forest Complex of Russia until 2030.

The geological structure and the physical-mechanical properties of rocks composing and overlapping the Third potash formation in the areas of the mine field mine No. 4 JSC Belaruskali, which are scheduled to practice, are studied. The geological sections of the Third potash layer and its roof were built, the thickness of sylvinite and halite layers was measured, the roof falling of the rocks of the layer with a height of up to 20 m was assessed, and the type of immediate roof was determined by the composition and structure of its constituent rocks. It was established that the strength under uniaxial compression of both sylvinite and halite layers for the areas under consideration differs slightly. Therefore, to solve engineering problems of ensuring the stability of mine workings and to calculate fastening parameters, strength values averaged over the groups of layers can be used that correlate well with the percentage of weak and clay interlayers. The same applies to Poisson’s ratio, the values of which for various layers of formation are slightly different and can be taken by their averaging. It is shown that the main factor that negatively affects the strength of rocks occurring in the roof of the Third potash seam is the presence of weak and clay interlayers, which increases with depth. The introduction of the obtained results allows us to improve the calculation accuracy of securing mining parameters, to reduce the costs of their maintenance, and to improve the safety of mining operations in developing the Third potash formation in complex geological and mining conditions.

The possibility of using waste porcelain stoneware - a high-strength non-porous, dense material as a finely crushed mineral part of asphalt concrete with 0-5 mm fraction has been established. The adhesive additive Bitaden content was revealed, that intensifies porcelain stoneware interaction with bitumen due to the additional hydrogen bonds formation, the particles’ contact plane activation with the action of van der Waals forces. The conditions for obtaining asphalt concrete mixtures of type B, grade 1 and G, grade 2 of the optimal grain composition with a reduced content of BND 60/90 bitumen have been developed. Physical and mechanical properties are characterized by an increase in the water resistance of asphalt concrete samples based on porcelain stoneware, compressive strength and shear resistance.

Fatigue cracking and rutting are among the main distresses identified in flexible pavements. To reduce these problems and other distresses, modified asphalt mixtures have been designed and studied. In this regard, this paper presents the results of a study on rheological behavior and resistance to permanent deformation and to fatigue of four different asphalt mixtures: (1) with conventional asphalt binder (CAP 50/70); (2) with binder modified by nanoclay (3% NC); (3) with binder modified by styrene–butadiene–styrene polymer (SBS 60/85); and (4) with binder modified by nanoclay and SBS (3% NC + 2% SBS). For this analysis, the mixtures were evaluated based on complex modulus, permanent deformation tests, and fatigue tests (4PB, in the four-point bending apparatus), with the subsequent application of numerical simulations. The results obtained show a better rheological behavior related to greater resistance to permanent deformation for the mixture 3% NC + 2% SBS, which could represent an alternative for roads where a high resistance to rutting is required. Otherwise, on fatigue tests, higher resistance was observed for the SBS 60/85 mixture, followed by the 3% NC + 2% SBS mixture. Nevertheless, based on the results of the numerical simulations and considering the possibility of cost reduction for the use of the 3% NC + 2% SBS mixture, it is concluded that this modified material has potential to provide improvements to the road sector around the world, especially in Brazil.

During rehabilitation work are often strict requirements on the use of high quality lightweight materials, including aggregate. Due the constantly increasing social pressure on the optimal use of secondary raw materials is therefore most appropriate to exploit the potential of fly ash as mineral residue from the combustion of ground coal in power plants. Especially filter fly ash has proven to be an adequate substitute for traditional materials in the past. This article deals with the evaluation of physical and mechanical properties of cold-consolidated pellets based on conventional and fluidized fly ash with various cement addition.

Aging has a detrimental impact on the interfacial interaction and bonding between asphalt-binder and aggregates, which influence ultimately on the performance of asphalt mixtures and pavements. Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the interface between the asphalt-binder and aggregates has thus become a hot research topic, particularly as a function of aging. In this study, the interfacial tensile strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus, and interfacial recovery energy were measured and quantified using molecular dynamic simulation. Whilst the free volume of the asphalt mixtures exhibited sensitivity to aging, the interfacial tensile strength decreased with an increase in the degree of aging. In general, the mechanical properties of the asphalt-binder-aggregate interface were found to be significantly dependent on the aggregate type. Furthermore, the study results indicated that interfacial recovery energy is a key characteristic property for characterizing the interfacial adhesive force within asphalt mixtures. Overall, the study of mechanical properties of the asphalt-binder and aggregate interface, as presented in this paper, contributes to quantifying the adhesive properties and improving the performance of asphalt mixtures.

The authors have developed a row-crop cultivator equipped with a ridge former, which allows performing high-quality operations of row crop cultivation in one pass. The inter row cultivation is carried out with a row-crop cultivator, on each section of which two ridge formers are mounted so that their flat discs are directed towards the row of plants at an acute angle, and the extreme edges of the wings of the V-shaped sweeps are located at the lower base of the soil ridge. When the row-crop cultivator moves, the V-shaped sweeps loosen the soil to the required depth and cut the weeds, and the flat discs move the soil layer coming off the wings of the V-shaped sweeps towards the rows of plants, hilling them and burying the weeds. In the presented article, the authors theoretically substantiate the angle of attack of a flat disc for burying weeds with a layer of soil of the required thickness. It was found that the angle of attack depends on the radius of the flat disc and the depth of its movement in the soil, the initial dimensions of the ridge and the physical and mechanical properties of the soil.
