Abstract: Satisfactory maintenance of its highway network is essential for any nation's economic growth. A pavement management system (PMS) formulated according to specific needs and resources of a particular highway maintenance ...

Abstract: A methodology is proposed for the design of slopes reinforced with a single row of piles. An existing method which is based on the theory of plasticity is used to find the lateral forces acting on the pile section above ...

Abstract: Digital imaging systems installed in automated highway evaluation vehicles are generally designed on a modular basis where system components produced by various manufacturers are assembled to customize the system and fulfill ...

Abstract: Pavement surface texture significantly contributes to tire wear and tire-pavement friction. Currently available relationships quantify tire wear and tire-pavement friction simply in terms of empirical pavement texture ...

Abstract: Pavement cracking can be considered to be an irreversible step-by-step fracturing process induced by cyclic truck load applications. Hence, pavement crack propagation depends primarily on the accumulated axle loads (ESALs) ...

Abstract: Certain highway agencies such as the Florida Department of Transportation use the crack index (CI) to enumerate pavement cracking and determine the rehabilitation priorities. Thus, accurate forecasting of CI is essential ...

Abstract: The objective of this research was to understand the mechanism of dynamic replacement (DR) with the view of identifying the attributes needed to effectively implement it. This was achieved by analytically modeling DR of ...
