Abstract: Semirigid pavement is a type of pavement structure in which a semirigid base layer, usually made up of cement-treated base (CTB) or cement-stabilized base (CSB), is overlaid with a top flexible layer of asphalt mixture. ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop a new in situ nondestructive testing (NDT) method to determine nonlinear parameters of subgrade soils and to establish a method to calculate the subgrade design modulus. The new method collects ...

Abstract: Asphaltic material is a kind of viscoelastic material, and its performance varies with test and materials conditions, such as stress states, temperatures, aging degree, gradations, and binders. The anti fatigue design of ...

Abstract: Lateral swelling pressure (LSP) of expansive soils included in the total lateral pressure (TLP) often results in instability and even sliding failure of retaining walls. In this study, a modified oedometer was developed ...

Abstract: Organic montmorillonite (OMMT) was obtained by reacting montmorillonite (MMT) with the surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The crystalline phases of MMT and OMMT were characterized by microscopic performance ...

Abstract: Aggregate occupies at least three-quarters of the volume of asphalt mixture and can significantly affect the performance of pavement. The geometrical morphology influences the slippage and interlock among aggregates for ...

Abstract: The resilient modulus has been used to characterize the stress–strain nonlinear behavior of subgrade soils and is the primary property needed for pavement design and analysis. The degrees of stress and moisture content ...
