Abstract: The objectives of this study were to assess whether temperature differentials measured using infrared thermography (IRT) occur in an overlay built on top of discontinuities such as joints and cracks and to study the ...

Abstract: The effects of pavement type on fuel consumption have received considerable attention in recent years, yet the influence of asphalt mixes characteristics and vehicle speed on fuel consumption excess has not been evaluated. ...

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to assess whether temperature differentials measured using infrared thermography (IRT) occur in an overlay built on top of discontinuities such as joints and cracks and to study the ...

Abstract: Mechanisms of flexible pavement fatigue cracking and reflective cracking from a cement-treated base (CTB) layer were investigated. 3D finite-element (FE) models were developed to simulate typical pavement structures for ...

Abstract: Current roughness prediction models require extensive input data including pavement distress, climatic, and traffic data, which may be difficult to collect. In addition, these models have geographical limitations; therefore, ...

Abstract: Transportation agencies often need to differentiate between top-down and bottom-up cracking in the field to set up an effective and targeted schedule and budget for the repair of these cracks. The objective of this study ...
