Abstract: Newfoundland and Labrador lies in the northeastern corner of North America. Road durability in this province is negatively affected by the harsh climate and ever-increasing traffic loads. The provincial five-year road plan ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study that was conducted to understand the impacts of aging and rejuvenation on fundamental properties of asphalt binders. A Performance Grade (PG) 64-22 binder was aged to simulate the ...

Abstract: Limited field investigations have evaluated the impact of traffic on the snow melting capacity of salts. This paper will describe an extensive field study that includes 1,200 tests that are conducted during 100 snow events ...

Abstract: Semirigid pavements are gaining importance in the pavement design field due to their improved performance in freezing zones. These semirigid pavements are constructed similarly to asphalt pavements, but with a cement-stabilized ...

Abstract: Pedestrian safety on parking lots and sidewalks is a main concern under adverse winter conditions because of the reduced friction level caused by snow and ice contaminations. Although there is an intuitive understanding ...

Abstract: This study investigates the chemical characteristics of rejuvenators and the effect of different rejuvenators on the morphology and fundamental behavior of rejuvenated asphalt binders. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy ...

Abstract: The inverted pavement system is an alternate type of pavement system compared to rigid and flexible pavement systems. The base layer of inverted pavements is generally a cement-treated layer with varied cement content, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an extensive field study of the comparative deicing performance of conventional dry road salt and prewetted road salt for the snow and ice control of transportation facilities. Approximately ...
