What is the primary advantage of using cup lump rubber (CLR) in cold mix asphalt (CMA)?
|
Improves functional properties of the asphalt |
|
It improves flexibility and durability of course. |
Because CLR helps asphalt withstand the heavy situations which prevents cracks specially in terms of temperatures limit also durability with the helps of rubber |

If the tensile strength of CMA increases by 26% due to the addition of CLR and the original tensile strength was 5 MPa, what is the new tensile strength?
|
6.3 MPa |
|
|
Increases = Original Strength * Increase rate
Increases = 5 * 0.26
Increases = 1.3
Which therefore new tensile strength are:
X = Original Strength + Increases
X = 5 + 1.3
= 6.3 |

|
Viscosity |
|
This is because the result in increased resistance under certain situations. |
It is caused by the contribution of CLR which changes it's behaviour. |

What is the significance of using cup lump rubber in the context of environmental sustainability?
|
It helps in lowering carbon emissions during production. |
|
Since using this method causes the impossibility of deterioration of the asphalt which lead to less frequent maintenance specially in terms of transportation and production for replacement.. |

If the failure rate of oil and gas pipelines in Europe is 0.29 per year per hundred kilometers, what is the failure rate per year for a pipeline network of 1,000 kilometers?
|
2.9 failures |
|
|
Failure rate per 1 km = Failure rate per 100 km / 100
= 0.29 / 100
= 0.0029
Therefore failure rate for 1000 km is
0.0029 * 1000
= 2.9 per year |

Assuming the failure rate in the United States is 0.14 per year per hundred kilometers, calculate the expected number of failures per year for a 1,500 kilometers pipeline network.
|
2.1 failures |
|
|
Failure rate per 1 km
= Failure rate per 100 km/100
= 0.14/100
= 0.0014
Therefore for 1500 km:
Expect = 1 km of failure rate * Total Length
- 0.0014 * 1500
= 2.1 |

If a pipeline defect inspection technology improves detection efficiency by 25% and the current detection efficiency is 80%, what will be the new detection efficiency?
|
105% |
|
|
Increases = Current efficiency* Improvement rate
= 80% * 0.25
= 20
Therefore new detection efficiency should be:
= Current efficiency + Increases
= 80% + 20%
= 100% |

|
Reduction = Original Noise level * Reduction rate
= 200 * 0.15

Therefore new noise level:
- Original Noise level * Reduction
