Abstract: The increasing use of recycled materials has led to balanced mix design (BMD), which combines volumetrics design with performance tests. Achieving air void and voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) to meet the volumetric stage ...

Abstract: Bottom-up fatigue cracking is one of the major distresses for asphalt pavements. Accurate prediction of fatigue cracking for asphalt pavement is of paramount importance for a cost-effective pavement design. A fatigue model ...

Abstract: Past studies have shown that initial pavement roughness greatly affects future pavement roughness and roughness progression rate. Initial pavement roughness is also an important input to the roughness prediction model in ...

Abstract: Asphalt concrete (AC) overlay is a commonly used rehabilitation technology for existing distressed pavements. Current practice regarding the selection of preoverlay repair is based on the experience of designers and field ...

Abstract: Asphaltic concrete overlay is a commonly used rehabilitation technology for existing asphaltic or concrete pavements. The existing pavements are often repaired prior to the placement of the overlay. Considering the significant ...

Abstract: The primary distresses of the asphalt pavement are rutting, fatigue cracking, and thermal cracking. Laboratory tests can be conducted to characterize the expected performance of asphalt concrete in the field. This study ...

Abstract: Studded tire wear can lead to the severe deterioration of asphalt pavement; therefore, the reduction of studded tire wear is urgently needed to improve asphalt pavement conditions and save repair costs. Steel slag is a ...

Abstract: Increased environmental regulations and the rising costs of asphalt binder have encouraged researchers to investigate alternative binders that can be used for hot mix asphalt (HMA). This study focused on using bioasphalt ...

Abstract: Fatigue cracking, either top-down or bottom-up, is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. One of the significant challenges in predicting the fatigue cracking behavior of asphalt concrete is that such behavior, ...

Abstract: Studded tire wear can lead to the severe deterioration of asphalt pavement; therefore, the reduction of studded tire wear is urgently needed to improve asphalt pavement conditions and save repair costs. Steel slag is a ...
