Abstract: Capability to effectively discretize a problem domain makes the finite-element method an attractive simulation technique for modeling complicated boundary value problems such as asphalt concrete pavements with material ...

Abstract: In recent history, a number of State Departments of Transportation have looked at providing safer driving conditions on bridges. One improvement method is placing high friction overlays on bridge decks. This study analyzed ...

Abstract: Rutting distress within a pavement structure has a direct correlation with mixtures’ structural responses to loading. For this reason, the complex modulus (|E*| and phase angle) master curves may be used to estimate the ...

Abstract: This study assessed the cracking performance of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures for airfield pavements and explored performance-based airfield asphalt mix specifications. Fundamental ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to conduct a performance evaluation to investigate the effect of a newer type of asphalt binder modification system and to demonstrate the importance of performance prediction modeling over ...
