Robust Random Forest Model for Faulting Prediction in Jointed Concrete Pavement
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A simple but robust faulting prediction model is essential for jointed concrete pavement design and timely maintenance and rehabilitation activities placement. This study utilized machine learning algorithms, including ...
Predicting Dynamic Shear Modulus of Asphalt Mastics Using Discretized-Element Simulation and Reinforcement Mechanisms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dynamic shear modulus of an asphalt mastic has a remarkable effect on the mechanical performance of an asphalt pavement, and particulate composite micromechanical models are proven to be suitable for the prediction of ...
Mechanistic Sieve-Size Classification of Aggregate Gradation by Characterizing Load-Carrying Capacity of Inner Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To choose the maximum dividing sieve sizes for multiscale analysis, a mechanistic classification principle of sieve sizes is developed to characterize the size ranges of four inner structures in an aggregate’s gradation. ...
Design and Water Stability Evaluation of Cold Mix Emulsified Asphalt Mixture under Multiple Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water stability resistance and internal void evolution behavior of the cold mix emulsified asphalt mixture (CMA) specimens at multiple freeze–thaw cycles were evaluated based on the tensile strength ratio from the indirect ...
Synthesis and Characterization of a High-Performance Asphalt Modified with Lignin–Waste Cooking Oil Composite
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: As one of the most important aromatic renewable natural resources, lignin has the potential to improve the high-temperature rheological properties and antiaging properties of asphalt. However, it will adversely harden the ...
Improved Geoid Modeling Using Observed and Modeled Gravity Gradients in Taiwan
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Correlating the Asphalt-Binder MSCR Test Results to the HMA HWTT and Field Rutting Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Asphalt binder is one of the key constitutive components of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) that considerably affects its rutting performance. In particular, the high-temperature rheological properties measured from the multiple ...
