Effect of Recycled Shell Waste as a Modifier on the High- and Low-Temperature Rheological Properties of Asphalt
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
In this study, seashell powder, a waste resource, was used as an asphalt material, and its performance was confirmed through various experiments.
Not only is the research subject interesting, but the consideration of various experiments is analytical and scientific.
After providing answers to some errors and questions in the manuscript, I hope this paper will be published.
1) In line 21, CaCO3, modify 3 to be a subscript.
2) Table 1.
If there is a reference to the values ​​of the specification, please add it
3) Figure 1.
Do you have any photos of you taking only power on a white background without a silver plate? If there is another picture, replace it, if not, there is no need to change it.
4) 2.2 sample preparation
Arrange the mixing materials and mixing ratios of the specimens used in each experiment in a table.
5) 2.3. Methods
What pretreatment method was applied to the specimens used in each experiment?
6) Line 247.
It would be nice to add Limestone's XRD pattern result image with reference
7) Figure 11.
Unify the spacing in the x-axis and y-axis names
8) Line 516, 517
In the case of S and m, I think it would be better to indicate it with an italic in both the text and the graph.
9) Discussion
It is not advisable to state the significance or necessity of this study here. Summarize each consideration of the previous experiments by linking them synthetically.
