Abstract: Robust internal stabilization is a strong notion of stabilization, whereby stability is maintained regardless of small disturbances, noises, and uncertainties. In this paper, simple tools are developed for achieving robust ...

Abstract: A viscoelastic (VE)–viscoplastic (VP) model for characterizing asphalt concrete behavior is described. The parameters of the model are determined in the prepeak region of the loading, under small load. It includes two ...

Abstract: Five coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation climate models and observations are compared with respect to their sea surface temperature (SST) and wind stress variability in the North Atlantic area, using 100 years of ...

Abstract: A case study of a highway rigid‐pavement evaluation using deflection‐based NDT is presented. The test section consists of 280 mm of concrete, 150 mm of cement‐stabilized base, and 150 mm of gravelly sand on a clayey subgrade. ...

Abstract: A methodology of optimizing expenditures for rural road maintenance and rehabilitation is presented. The optimum schedule for pavement overlay and rehabilitation is determined, resulting in minimal costs during the road's ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mechanistic-empirical framework for evaluating permanent deformation in flexible pavements. The procedure uses rational material properties and can be used as an analysis tool, as a companion to the ...

Abstract: The profile and clearance heights at seven bridges of the New Jersey approach roads to the George Washington Bridge needed upgrading. To do this, nondestructive test (NDT) techniques were carried out on the pavement surfaces ...

Abstract: The dynamic linear back calculation procedure for estimating pavement material properties is presented. Two approaches based on the fitting of the data in the time and frequency domain are described in detail. The time‐domain ...
