T1 - Examining the efficacy of promising antioxidants to mitigate asphalt binder oxidation: Insights from a worldwide interlaboratory investigation N2 - Oxidative aging induces significant stiffening of asphalt binders that leads to a pronounced reduction in the overall durability of asphalt pavements. The strategic implementation of antioxidant additives provides a potential solution to alleviate this issue. This work presents results from the second phase of the global consortium for antioxidants research aimed at investigating the effectiveness of potential antioxidants in increasing the durability of asphalt binders. Sixteen laboratories around the world participated in this effort and a total of 28 binders from diverse geographical regions were tested. Two promising antioxidants, namely zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDC) and kraft lignin were evaluated in this phase and blended with the binders at specific proportions. Subsequently, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to assess rheological characteristics and chemical properties of the various blends, utilising Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) measurements and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The findings indicate that additives such as ZDC hold considerable promise as an effective antioxidant, particularly when considering a wide diversity of binders. In general, its incorporation does not compromise the rutting performance of the binders and significantly improves fatigue performance. Therefore, research efforts should be focused on exploring additional facets to assess its practical applicability in field.

T1 - Influence of polycarboxylate superplasticizers with different molecular structures on rheological properties of glass bead suspension at different resting times N2 - Using an inert glass bead suspension, the study explores the interaction between various PCE superplasticizers, ions and investigates how it affects rheological performance during resting. To understand the underlying mechanisms, surface charge properties, adsorption, aggregates amount, and size of PCE during resting were measured. Results showed that yield stress increased with time, mainly when a high PCE dosage was used, and the modulus from strain sweep experiments agreed with the yield stress variations. The increase in zeta potential value and decrease in aggregate amount explain the decrease in yield stress in the non-PCE sample but are inconsistent with the increase in yield stress in presence of PCE. The PCE clusters’ size increases during resting, and increasing PCE adsorption does not disperse the glass bead particles. In addition, compared to the amount of carboxylate group, the molecular weight of PCE is more dominant in increasing the yield stress during resting. The increase in yield stress could be explained by the increase in the bridging and depletion forces due to the increasing size of the PCE cluster. Another possible reason is that non-adsorbed PCE clusters may form a polymer network that restricts the movement of the particles.

T1 - Resonance Monitoring of a Horizontal Wind Turbine by Strain-Based Automated Operational Modal Analysis N2 - A strain-based automated operational modal analysis algorithm is proposed to track the long-term dynamic behavior of a horizontal wind turbine under operational conditions. This algorithm is firstly validated by a scaled wind turbine model, and then it is applied to the dynamic strain responses recorded from a 5 MW wind turbine system. We observed variations in the fundamental frequency and 1f, 3f excitation frequencies due to the mass imbalance of the blades and aerodynamic excitation by the tower dam or tower wake. Inspection of the Campbell diagram revealed that the adverse resonance phenomenon and Sommerfeld effect causing excessive vibrations of the wind tower.
