Abstract: This paper presents the estimation results of an improved nonlinear rutting progression model for asphalt concrete mixes. Rutting is modeled as a function of traffic, temperature, and mix characteristics, including voids ...

Abstract: This paper considers the nature of repeated measurement data under the framework of the mixed-effects approach with an extension of an empirical nonlinear model of rutting progression on asphalt concrete pavements. The ...

Abstract: The accurate prediction of rutting development is an essential element for the efficient management of pavement systems. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the estimation of rutting models ...

Abstract: Properly specified pavement deterioration models are an important input for the efficient management of pavements, the allocation of cost responsibilities to various vehicle classes for their use of the highway system, and ...

Abstract: A key step in mix design is the selection of an appropriate aggregate structure since this affects mix performance and the amount of asphalt in the mix. This paper explores the effects that fines adhered to larger particles ...

Abstract: The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of portland cement concrete (PCC) is a significant factor affecting the performance of concrete pavements. It is also required as a direct input in the mechanistic-empirical ...

Abstract: There is an absence of nationally accepted warrants for left-turn phasing at signalized intersections. Some guidelines recommend a protected left-turn phasing for turns with three or more opposing through lanes. However, ...

Abstract: Researchers report the number of cycles corresponding to the lower strain rate in a permanent deformation test, known as flow number (FN), as a good asphalt mix stability indicator; however, its variability has limited its ...
