About this book

This book describes the development of an innovative solution for electrified roadway pavements based on engineered cementitious composites, which are exhibiting an extreme tensile strain capacity that is much higher than conventional concrete. This enables the pavement to work without steel reinforcement and to embed a dynamic wireless power transfer technology for charging electric vehicles. At first, the book presents a modified performance-driven design approach to improve the composites to achieve the optimum pavement design in terms of functional and structural performance. It shows that the modified composites can be used to fulfil the safety and comfort factors without neglecting the characteristics of conventional ones. Further, 3D finite element and fluid dynamics models are used to analyse the pavement properties. The validated models can predict the functional performance, including skid resistance, surface water drainage, and noise. In the remaining part of the thesis, an environmentally-friendly photocatalytic function for pavement made of engineered cementitious composites is investigated. In turn, a multi-criteria design analysis is proposed to identify the optimum functional performance of the pavements. All in all, this book reports on a comprehensive approach to design, analyse and optimize engineered cementitious composites for electrified road pavement application. A special emphasis is given on applications in Singapore and other tropical megacities.

Chapter 4. State of the Art: Functional Performance of Pavement
Abstract
This chapter summarizes the state of the art of the functional performance of the pavement. The functional performance of pavement is vital as it is directly related to the safety and comfort of driving experiences. The following section will state different parameters on functional performance, which included skid resistance, surface water drainage, tire-pavement noise, durability, and self-cleaning.

Chapter 5. Multi Criteria Decision Analysis on the Functional Performance of Pavement
Abstract
This chapter summarizes the results of Multi Criteria Design Analysis (MCDA) on the functional performance of pavement obtained in this thesis. The MCDA proposes a sophisticated method to define the functional performance of surface properties of such a type of surface pavement. The functional performance includes microtexture, macrotexture, pavement drainage (splash and spray), pavement unevenness, noise, cost, and durability.

Chapter 6. Study of Mechanical Properties
Abstract
This chapter describes the results of the mechanical properties study completed in this thesis. The main objective of the study is to investigate the functional performance of pavement made of ECC material. However, the study and understanding of the ECC characteristics are required before doing any modification for the existing mixture design.

Chapter 7. Study of Skid Resistance: Laboratory Test
Abstract
This chapter presents the experimental research of the skid resistance for ECC material used for pavement. Data have been collected from various laboratory tests. The skid resistance tests include British Pendulum Test (BPT) for microtexture and the Sand Patch Method Test (SPM) for macrotexture.

Chapter 8. Study of Skid Resistance: Field Investigation
Abstract
This chapter presents the investigation on the full-scale application of modified ECC for pavement application. Data from various texturing methods applied in the field have been collected and then analyzed. The skid resistance tests conducted were including the British Pendulum Test (BPT) for the microtexture and the volumetric based Sand Patch Test (SPT) for the macrotexture. Different texturing methods applied to find the optimum solution to produce good surface properties for pavement application.

Chapter 9. Study of Skid Resistance: Numerical Modelling 3D FEM
Abstract
This chapter describes FEM model development on analyzing and evaluating texturing methods to improve the skid resistance for pavement made of ECC material. Finite Element Method (FEM) model can be used to solve mathematical problems by translating partial differential equation into algebraic equations by representing the real structure into subdivision or parts called finite elements.

Chapter 12. Study of Surface Water Drainage: Numerical 3D CFX
Abstract
This chapter describes the numerical study employed by using ANSYS Fluent (Fluid Dynamics Analysis) developed in this thesis. The numerical study consists of the development of the 3D model for the simulation of surface water drainage. The 3D model includes geometry development, mesh design, material properties, conditions, model validation and analysis. The objective of the model is to simulate how the surface texture and geometry of pavement made of ECC will affect water surface runoff.

Chapter 13. Study of Correlation Between Skid Resistance and Surface Water Drainage Performance
Abstract
This chapter elaborates on the correlation between the skid resistance and the surface water drainage performance-based on analysis from data collected and numerical simulation modelled.

Chapter 14. Study of Noise
Abstract
This chapter presents the study of noise on the pavement made of ECC. In pavement material design, there are three main material properties which are affecting noise, namely density, porosity, and texture. Thus, it was expected that ECC material might produce higher noise due to its high density and less porous properties. However, there is a need to study the noise caused by pavement made of ECC as a reference for future usage as well as identification for an improvement.

Chapter 15. Study of Self-cleaning and Slip-Proof ECC
Abstract
This chapter reports the development of a bright and slip-proof ECC with visible light activated photocatalysis property for pavement in tunnels. Different TiO2 nano-particles were tested first to evaluate their photocatalysis property under visible light irradiation. The selected TiO2 nano-particle was used to develop the bright and slip-proof ECC with the inclusion of white fine aggregates. Effects of fine aggregate content on the mechanical properties and skid resistance of the resulting ECC were investigated. Influences of TiO2 dosage on the mechanical properties of ECC were tested and self-cleaning performance and dirt pick-up resistance (DPUR) of ECC under visible light irradiation were studied.
