Abstract:
Moisture damage is a common problem faced by highway agencies. Researchers have developed laboratory test methods over the years to identify moisture-susceptible asphalt concrete mixtures, but none of them has been consistently successful. A new laboratory test method, the Environmental Conditioning System, was developed under the Strategic Highway Research Program. This new test method has a distinct advantage over the existing methods because it can simulate field conditions. However, a comprehensive evaluation of the method showed that although it is a promising concept, it needs further mo

Abstract:
Summary The concentration of individual resin acids and the equilibrium moisture content at a relative humidity of 100% were studied in brown-rot resistant and susceptible Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood. About 90% of the resin acids in the heartwood were of the abietane type, abietic acid being the most abundant. The concentration of resin acids was higher in the decay-resistant heartwood than in the decay-susceptible heartwood. Resin acids are presumably in part responsible for the decay resistance of Scots pine heartwood. However, no clear relationship was found between the conce

Abstract The properties of several modified wood products were evaluated using North American standards to provide comparative data for architects seeking to use these materials. In general, modified wood products had lower moisture uptakes and less shrinkage than unmodified products. Acetylated materials were highly resistant to fungal decay, whereas thermally modified and furfurylated materials were classified as decay resistant. All materials were susceptible to mold, although the nonacetylated moisture-resistant medium-density fiberboard was most susceptible. Thermally modified and furfury

Abstract:
A simple tube suction test has been developed by the Finnish National Road Administration for evaluating unstabilized granular base material. The test consists of monitoring the capillary rise of moisture within a 150-mm-diameter by 200-mm-high cylinder of compacted aggregate. A probe is used to measure the dielectric constant at the surface of the sample. The dielectric constant is a measure of the free, or unbound, water within the aggregate sample. It is this unbound water that is thought to be directly related to the strength of the material and its ability to withstand repeated freeze-tha

Moisture induced damage in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixture is a prevalent problem all over the world.

Abstract:
With the loss of field burning the amount of crop residue that remains in perennial ryegrass fields has increased. As the amount of crop residue remaining in the field increases so does annual bluegrass. This has resulted in the increased use of herbicides to control annual bluegrass. However, this increased use has also resulted in herbicide-resistant annual bluegrass. Field experiments were initiated in 1997 to investigate residue management options available to growers and their impacts on annual bluegrass emergence. Two sites, Glaser and Wirth, were established with three residue managemen

Abstract:
The last step in the separation process for a biological product is usually drying, which is the process of thermally removing volatile substances (often water) to yield a solid. In the step preceding drying, the desired product is generally in an aqueous solution and at the desired final level of purity. The most common reason for drying a biological product is that it is susceptible to chemical (e.g., deamidation or oxidation) and/or physical (e.g., aggregation and precipitation) degradation during storage in a liquid formulation. Another common reason for drying is for convenience in the final use of the product. For example, it is often desirable that pharmaceutical drugs be in tablet form. Additionally, drying may be necessary to remove undesirable volatile substances. Also, although many bioproducts are stable when frozen, it is more economical and convenient to store them in dry form rather than frozen. Drying is now an established unit operation in the process industries. However, because most biological products are thermally labile, only those drying processes that minimize or eliminate thermal product degradation are actually used to dry biological products. This chapter focuses on the types of dryer that have generally found the greatest use in the drying of biological products: vacuum-shelf dryers, batch vacuum rotary dryers, freeze dryers, and spray dryers [1]. The principles discussed, however, will apply to other types of dryers as well. We begin with the fundamental principles of drying, followed by a description of the types of dryer most used for biological products. Then we present scale-up and design methods for these dryers. After completing this chapter, the reader should be able to do the following: • Do drying calculations involving relative humidity using the psychrometric moisture chart and the equilibrium moisture curve for the material being dried. • Calculate the relative amounts of bound and unbound water in wet solids before drying. • Model heat transfer in conductive drying and calculate conductive drying times. • Interpret drying rate curves. • Calculate convective drying times of nonporous solids based on mass transfer.

Abstract:
What does it take to make a fire? The factors underlying fire can be illustrated with a triangle, and five fire triangles, relevant to different scales in area and time, have been defined. Let’s start with the most basic, at the smallest scale. The ‘fire fundamentals triangle’ has three elements: fuel, as there needs to be something to burn; heat, because fires can’t start without a source of heat; and oxygen, essential for a fire to combust and spread. The importance of oxygen becomes obvious when we put out a fire. The use of sand or CO2, or even smothering, is a way to exclude air, and more specifically to remove oxygen from the system so that the combustion reaction stops. Water has two effects. It reduces the amount of oxygen getting to the fire, but more importantly the heat energy from the fire goes into evaporating the water rather than heating the fuel that allows the combustion reaction to continue. Our second triangle can be called the ‘fire environment triangle’. Here again, fuel forms one of the points. Another is the weather, as this controls the moisture in the fuel, affecting its flammability. The drier the fuel, the more easily it can burn. Perhaps surprisingly, the third point of the triangle is topography, which impacts on the rate and pattern of spread of the fire. Hill slopes, for instance, can provide an updraft of air that allows the fire to spread more quickly. The next triangle up widens our perspective in terms not only of spatial scale but also time. This triangle can be called the ‘fire regime triangle’. Here we consider not simply the fuel but the type of vegetation that is being burned. Some types of vegetation are more flammable than others. The overall climate is also significant at this bigger scale. For example, temperate seasonal climates are more fire-prone than wet tropical climates, where there is rain every day. The third arm of this triangle is landform: mountainous regions are more susceptible to fire than low-lying flat areas.
