Abstract: The effect of the subgrade’s apparent (superficial) nonlinearity captured during falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing has been a major challenge for pavement engineers in trying to back-calculate reliable layer moduli. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a study that evaluated the performance of a new runway at the northernmost US airport in Barrow, Alaska. Due to the appearance of early pavement surface distresses, nondestructive ...

Abstract: In 1996, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) initiated an extensive project to develop mechanistic-empirical (ME) pavement design and analysis tools, which will help state design engineers incorporate the ...

Abstract: In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate and select an optimal Maintenance and Rehabilitation (M&R) strategy for a designed flexible pavement by integrating Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and California Mechanisti ...
