Steel slag reserves of our country has reached 200 million tons and each year it will increase 100 million tons. Slag accumulation occupied a large number of enterprises space and made pollution to the environment. Since steel slag based asphalt pavements have been utilized for a certain history, their fatigue life necessitates comprehensive investigation imperatively. In this paper, the fatigue life of steel-slag asphalt mixture was tested through the four-point bending test. The results showed that steel slag prepared mixture was superior to limestone mixture after several freeze-thaws, with respect to moisture sensitivity, and was suitable for asphalt treated base (ATB). The fatigue life of slag asphalt mixture with low content limestone was longer.

In this work, a model for the dynamical four-point bending test is present, with particular emphasis on application to an asphalt concrete (AC) composite, a viscoelastic material, based on the Euler-Bernoulli theory, which approaches an equation where the Young modulus E can be substituted by the operator (E + γ∂/∂t), where γ is an internal damping parameter associated to the binder viscoelasticity and t is the time. As course aggregate in the composition of the AC mixture, the sintered aggregate of calcined clay was used, interesting to be employed as an alternative to the lack of natural course aggregate in some regions of the planet, where the presence of sedimentary rocks prevails. The results indicated that γ decreases with the temperature and loading frequency and the apparent noise in the stiffness versus strain curve is resulted from the natural vibration mode of the beam.

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.
