Abstract: An experimental testing protocol was developed to compare the relative effectiveness of chemical dust palliatives. The methods and application simulate field construction using commercial spray components. The test devices ...

Abstract: Two commercially available chemical dust palliatives were evaluated in full-scale experiments in an enclosed, controlled environment to evaluate their effectiveness and to determine impacts to a stabilized surface. The ...

Abstract: In this study, the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) was investigated for its ability to detect asphalt paving mixtures designed for airfields that may be prone to rutting. The objective of this study is to evaluate acceptance ...

Abstract: A performance test, rather than an empirical test, to evaluate rutting susceptibility is needed to accompany current volumetric property requirements of airport hot mix asphalt (HMA) designed using a superpave gyratory ...

Abstract: Organic polymers have been extensively studied over the last decades, and most of the research focused on the mechanical performance of the soils treated with polymer at different dosages without addressing the effects of ...

Abstract: An evaluation of commercial and experimental dust palliatives was conducted to determine their effectiveness for mitigating fugitive dust on roads in arid climates. Several types of chemicals were tested including polymer ...

Abstract: Rutting is a major distress for asphalt pavements. This paper examines the relationship of laboratory- and field-compaction methods to rutting performance based on aggregate packing characteristics. Four hot- and warm-mixed ...
