Abstract: Analysis of overloaded axles has received scant attention during the pavement design process. Such overloaded axles are well known to cause extensive damage to the pavement, though the number of repetitions of such axles ...

Abstract: This investigation reports the viscoelastic solid to fluid transition of asphalt as the temperature is varied. Air blown, blended asphalt and pitch obtained from Arab mix crude were tested under unaged, short-term aged, ...

Abstract: In this article, we provide a review of the uses of asphalt from ancient to modern times and we discuss the main attempts at mathematically modeling its behavior. We start with a discussion ...

Abstract: The response of an asphalt concrete pavement to external loading depends on its internal structure. Using a recent framework that associates different natural configurations (for example, stress-free configurations) with ...

Abstract: Quantification of the fatigue life of warm mix asphalt (WMA) is challenging due to various factors such as the extent of aging and moisture susceptibility, to mention a few. Hydrated lime as an antistripping material can ...

Abstract: Cement-stabilized pond ash is often used as an alternative to conventional materials in compacted subgrade and subbases in pavements. The addition of cement to pond ash increases cohesion and improves strength. The effects ...

Abstract: In the AASHTO T-378 protocol for computing dynamic modulus and phase angle, the bituminous mixture sample is subjected to a continuous loading from high frequency to low frequency. The postprocessing method involves fitting ...

Abstract: Cold recycling of asphalt pavement is an effective rehabilitation technique in terms of saving natural resources and cost of construction. The current study focuses on cold-recycled asphalt mixture designated as emulsified ...

Abstract: This investigation examines the influence of braking on the reliability of bituminous pavements. For this purpose, different loading conditions of a two-axle truck are simulated using vehicle dynamics software. Individual ...

Abstract: The conventional design approaches for reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mix follow blending rules to select the grade of the virgin binder for hot recycled bituminous mixtures. The interactions of RAP binder with the virgin ...
