Abstract: Reliable implementation of transient temperature prediction models for asphalt pavements has been impeded by lack of reliable thermo–physical properties data. The existing methodology based on

Abstract: Frost related damage in pavements is a major concern for highway engineers in cold regions. The existing methods for mitigating frost damage in flexible pavements are expensive; they require greater construction control ...

Abstract: Practical optimization of infrastructure preservation works programming has always posed a computational challenge due to the complexity and scale of the problem. Critical to the process is formulations in which the identity ...

Abstract: Initial implementation of a road management system will typically face the challenge of a lack of time-series data for performance modeling. This paper presents one approach for developing initial performance prediction ...

Abstract: Construction specifications are used by transportation agencies to define the client’s requirements of the final product. The primary motivation of adopting the newer end result specification (ERS) or performance related ...

Abstract: A problem often arising in engineering applications of computer models is to determine the importance of each data item in the large pool of required input factors. This paper explores a statistical approach for investigating ...
