Abstract: Pavement roughness has long been linked to both vehicle fuel efficiency and pavement structural degradation. Perceptions of pavement roughness, however, may vary among users of different sociodemographic features and ...

Abstract: If connected and autonomous vehicles use highways under current lane management policy, only partial benefit can be reaped from the platooning of advanced vehicles. Agencies may have to update the existing policy in the ...

Abstract: Hot-mix epoxy asphalt has superior performance as bridge deck pavement material. However, its high cost hinders the application of epoxy asphalt in road pavement. This study investigated the effects of epoxy resin contents ...

Abstract: The stability evaluation of earth slopes is a common practice in geotechnical designs. To account for uncertain characteristics of soil properties, probabilistic evaluation that requires repeated calculations of factor of ...

Abstract: A biocoalbriquette, a new artificial solid fuel, is manufactured by a mixture of coal and biomass under a high-compression pressure. The combustion characteristics of biocoalbriquettes were ...

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: Polyurethane grouting technology has been applied in the maintenance and reinforcement of transportation infrastructure such as airports, expressways, and high-speed railways. For rigid pavements with voids underneath ...
