Abstract: Over the last few decades, wildfires in the United States have caused severe damage and property losses. As more houses are being built in areas prone to wildfire, enhancing the fire resistance of structures and buildings ...

Abstract: Rutting from studded tire wear is a typical pavement distress in cold climates such as that of Alaska and other northern states. Current state-of-the-art advancements in material technology and concrete pavement design ...

Abstract: Paving interlayers have been used in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays for a variety of benefits. An earlier study showed that different paving interlayers improved mixture performance, while the multiaxial interlayer provided ...

Abstract: In a flexible pavement, the base course is an essential component in that it supports the surface course and distributes traffic loads to the subbase and subgrade. Asphalt treatment is used on granular base course material ...

Abstract: Asphalt oxidation induces asphalt binder embrittlement, which in turn increases the susceptibility of flexible pavement to fatigue and low-temperature cracking. It is critical to determine an index that can appropriately ...
