Abstract: Different features included in public-private partnership (PPP) highway projects such as limited liability of the leveraged firm and government support mechanisms [e.g., price adjustment clauses (PACs)] result in ...

Abstract: This paper examines the vulnerability of road networks to two types of disruptions by modeling the percolation dynamics in road networks under different disruption scenarios. The objective of this paper is threefold: ...

Abstract: Different features included in public-private partnership (PPP) highway projects such as limited liability of the leveraged firm and government support mechanisms [e.g., price adjustment clauses (PACs)] result in asymmetric ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to demonstrate using weak form partial differential equation (PDE) method for a finite-element (FE) modeling of a new constitutive relation without the need of user subroutine programming. ...

Abstract: Permeability is an important property that influences the performance of hot-mix asphalt (HMA). It is a function of compaction effort, and several properties of HMA such as asphalt content, and the shape and size distribution ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results from an evaluation of a new gradation-based framework developed for identifying and assessing the coarse aggregate structure of dense-graded mixtures for resistance to rutting. A theoretical ...

Abstract: Low temperature has a tendency to cause microdamage in asphalt concrete because of the relative thermal contraction of mastic and subsequent accumulation of thermal stresses. This paper presents the applicability of an ...
