Abstract: Different methods for preliminary constituent proportioning of the recycled mix are proposed in various guidelines/studies for central plant hotmix asphalt recycling. These methods are sequential in nature, and the process ...

Abstract: A typical asphalt pavement design based on the mechanistic-empirical approach offers multiple design alternatives for a given set of input values. The present paper emphasizes the fact that the cost as well as the reliability ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical approach for estimation of temperature stress in asphalt pavements. Nonlinear variation of temperature with respect to time as well as across the depth of the asphalt layer is considered. ...

Abstract: The current practice in India for thickness design of roads with bituminous surfacing is based on limited experience of road performance in the late 1970s. Extrapolation of the design method to the present day heavy traffic ...

Abstract: Evaluation of the structural conditions and estimation of the remaining structural life of each pavement section are important considerations for prioritizing the maintenance needs of any highway network. Many highway ...

Abstract: Asphalt mix design involves a number of tasks culminating in a laboratory estimation of suitable asphalt binder content which is recommended for bulk manufacture of the mix. Generally, the suitable binder content is that ...

Abstract: Low-grade laterite and pit-run gravel aggregates available in abundance in eastern India may be turned into a cost-effective base for low-volume roads when ordinary portland cement, river sand, and aggregates are mixed in ...
