Innovative Materials and Design for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure iii
Preface
The transportation industry and its agency partners are constantly looking for ways to
improve infrastructure performance, increase construction efficiency, conserve
resources, and advance environmental stewardship. Innovations in materials and
design are continuously being developed regarding this effort. This Special Technical
Publication (STP) entitled Innovative Materials and Design for Sustainable
Transportation Infrastructure selects 37 technical papers that represent the recent
innovations and advances in materials and design to meet the challenges of
sustainable development. Among these 37 papers, 14 papers focus on context
sensitive solutions in pavement materials such as asphalt, concrete, and other
recycling and reusable transportation materials, 12 papers on geo-materials, soil
stabilization and ground improvement techniques, and 11 papers on sustainable
design in underground space, tunneling and railway engineering.

Two or more reviewers along with the editors evaluated each paper published in this
ASCE STP. The authors of the accepted papers have addressed all the reviewers’
comments to the satisfaction of the editors. All published papers are eligible for
discussion in the Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, and are eligible for ASCE
awards.

The papers included in this publication were presented at the International
Symposium on Systematic Approaches to Environmental Sustainability in
Transportation held in Fairbanks, Alaska, USA from August 2 to 5, 2015. This
conference was hosted by the Center for Environmentally Sustainable Transportation
in Cold Climates (CESTiCC), Chinese Society of Civil Engineers, and Tongji
University, China in collaboration with Environmental UTC Network, International
Association of Chinese Infrastructure Professionals, the Infrastructure & Climate
Network (ICNet), University of Alaska Fairbanks in USA, University of Kansas in
USA, University of Tennessee in USA, and Wuhan Polytechnic University in China.
The conference was co-sponsored by ASCE Construction Institute (CI),
Transportation Research Board (TRB), and Frontiers of Structural and Civil
Engineering in China. The Conference was chaired by Professor Jenny Liu and co-
chaired by Professor Hehua Zhu.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the improvement of thermal properties such as thermal
conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of asphalt mixtures using
conductive fillers, and investigating the conduction performance by one-dimensional
(1-D) simulation on pavements. Different asphalt mixtures used in this study was
modified with milled carbon fiber, chopped carbon fiber, flake graphite powder and
synthetic graphite powder individually. The conductivity properties of graphite and
carbon fibers modified asphalt mixtures was measured and calculated to evaluate
their conduction effects in order to obtain the appropriate kind and quantity of carbon
fiber and graphite. The 1-D simulation was performed on a typical pavement design
using finite difference method to comprehend the conduction performance taking
place in pavement structure. Thermal testing and analysis results indicated that
carbon fibers and graphite basically increase the thermal properties of asphalt
mixtures. The simulation results presented the reliable heat conduction correlated
with each conductive fillers.

INTRODUCTION

In winter, traffic accidents can easily happen because of the accumulated
snow and freeze leading to difficulty of vehicles travel. Therefore, removing the snow
and ice and making roads, bridge decks and airport runways snow ice-free in the
winter become one of the most critical problems to be solved in Korea. The addition
of conductive fillers or additives to improve the conductivity of asphalt concrete is
feasible to melt and remove snow and ice on asphalt pavement surface (Sherif and
Christopher 1999). This method is environmental friendly, safe, efficient, and
sustainable to keep asphalt pavement free from snow (Tang et al. 2001).
