Abstract: Stiffness quantification of unbound granular materials (UGMs) is essential for designing pavement structures. This stiffness can be determined directly through the resilient modulus test, or indirectly, by correlation, ...

Abstract: Drainability is one of the main characteristics of permeable friction course (PFC) mixtures and is the primary reason for using these mixtures as the surface course in asphalt pavements in the United States. Current ...

Abstract: Stone-on-stone contact of the coarse-aggregate fraction is one of the main characteristics of permeable friction course (PFC) asphalt mixtures that is required to provide adequate resistance to both raveling and permanent ...

Abstract: Chip seals constitute an alternative for maintaining and preserving asphalt pavement structures and constructing surface courses for low-traffic pavement structures. However, poor adhesion quality in the asphalt binder–aggregate ...

Abstract: Sugarcane agriculture contributes to the greenhouse effect by the polluting action of residue disposal, given that most sugarcane bagasse (SB) is burned. Because it is a low-cost fiber and ecofriendly material, SB can be ...
