Abstract: A concrete pavement curls to a concave configuration when it is subjected to a negative temperature gradient, which results when the temperature at its bottom surface is higher than at its top surface. A gap may occur ...

Abstract: This paper details a mathematical algorithm to determine the required number of rollers for a chip seal project’s equipment spread based on maximizing the asphalt distributor’s production and adhering to specified roller ...

Abstract: A material selected for pavement base layers must possess the structural capacity to withstand stresses and strains caused by vehicle loading and environmental factors. Self-consolidating base material (SCBM) is a variant ...

Abstract: During freezing temperatures, ice accumulates on exposed concrete slabs such as bridge decks. Deicing salts such as calcium chloride are applied to control this ice formation. These salts migrate down to the reinforcing ...
