Abstract: The matric suction is well known to significantly affect the resilient modulus of unsaturated subgrade soils. However, the contribution of matric suction on the resilient modulus varies with moisture conditions and needs ...

Abstract: As agencies continue looking for cost-effective methods to rehabilitate deteriorated jointed concrete pavement (JCP), rubblization using a resonant breaker has been experimented by the Shanghai Municipal Roadway Authority ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to propose a simple empirical prediction model for temperature gradients within concrete slabs of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs) based on data collected by the Pavement Conditions Monitoring ...

Abstract: Composite pavement structure is the main pavement structure type for airport runways worldwide. However, the damage features of composite runway pavement are different from both flexible pavement and rigid pavement. ...

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of NaCl concentration on saturation in concrete and ice-formation pressure and volume expansion of solutions are investigated; also, mechanisms of concrete salt-frost scaling are analyzed. Results ...

Abstract: To highlight the influence of cement addition on laboratory characterization of lateritic gravel and the feasibility of cement–lateritic gravel for use in base construction, relatively comprehensive laboratory experiments ...

Abstract: The construction of airport runways or other infrastructures on soft soil might risk damage and create potential hazards if inappropriate foundation treatments have been conducted. Preloading on soft soil is a commonly ...

Abstract: Electroosmosis (EO) is considered a promising technique for reducing water content in soft soils. In this study, a multiscale experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of EO in controlling the water content ...
