Abstract: A procedure for constructing resin impregnated sand specimens for fabric (microstructure) analysis is presented. The impregnation device provides excellent control of the impregnation rate and confinement for different ...

Abstract: Preventive-maintenance treatments are increasingly being adopted in pavement preservation during recent years. For such treatments to be effective, their selection must be based on the right conditions. This study quantifies ...

Abstract: Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is increasingly being used due to the economic savings and environmental benefits. RAP contains removed or reprocessed asphalt binder and aggregates instead of virgin material. In order to ...

Abstract: Studded tires are used during winter seasons to reduce snow- and ice-related accidents in several cold climate regions. However, during driving the studs in these tires progressively punch into the asphalt pavement and ...

Abstract: Preventive-maintenance treatments help preserve pavements and delay deterioration caused by traffic loads and environmental conditions. However, guidance is needed to ensure cost effectiveness of treatments, the benefit-to-cost ...

Abstract: Preventive maintenance treatments are extensively used due to their active cost-effectiveness, and evaluating their short-term effectiveness is an important criterion. In this study, the performance jump, which is defined ...

Abstract: Preventive maintenance treatments are extensively used in pavements due to their many benefits, including lowering life-cycle costs. Although the effectiveness of preventive treatments has been evaluated, many highway ...

Abstract: A constitutive relationship for one-dimensional consolidation of clays is presented. It recognizes the importance of structural viscosity and yielding in controlling many of the phenomena associated with the consolidation ...
