Abstract: Angularity and surface texture of aggregate particles are important morphological characteristics and have great influences on the performance of asphalt mix. Several approaches have been developed to characterize the ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the coefficient of permeability, porosity, and voids in total mixture (VTM) of fine-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Two fine-graded HMA mixtures used in ...

Abstract: To study the reason why the evaluation result of fracture energy is sometimes inconsistent with in situ cracking, the accuracy of fracture energy in evaluating low-temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mixture was ...

Abstract: Due to the large void ratio of porous asphalt pavement, rainwater is more likely to infiltrate through surface voids and affect the internal structure, leading to pavement damage. The objective of this study was to investigate ...

Abstract: The simulation of pavement texture in the wearing layer helps to evaluate the texture characteristics, which is crucial for enhancing skid resistance and ensuring road safety. To investigate the simulation methodology for ...

Abstract: In the field, the workability and compactability of asphalt mixtures are essential to obtain the desired smoothness and sufficient density of a compacted pavement, especially for the asphalt mixtures prepared at low ...

Abstract: In the field, the workability and compactability of asphalt mixtures are essential to obtain the desired smoothness and sufficient density of a compacted pavement, especially for the asphalt mixtures prepared at low ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of different aging temperatures on the performance of asphalt binders through a comprehensive experimental procedure. Two kinds of asphalt binders with the same 70/100 penetration grade ...

Abstract: CrackNet is the result of an 18-month collaboration within a 1-person team to develop a deep learning–based pavement crack detection software that demonstrated successes in terms of consistency for both precision and bias. ...

Abstract: An ultrathin wearing course (UTWC) is a preventive maintenance treatment method for a road surface which can improve the safety and comfort of driving by providing superior skid resistance. However, the skid resistance is ...
