RISGlobal Optimization of Pavement Structural Parameters during Back-Calculation Using Hybrid Shuffled Complex Evolution Algorithm
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the use of a hybrid evolutionary optimization algorithm is proposed for global optimization of pavement structural parameters through inverse modeling. Shuffled complex evolution (SCE) is a population-based ...
Support Vector Machines Approach to HMA Stiffness Prediction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to engineering has increased tremendously over the last decade. Support vector machine (SVM) is one efficient AI technique based on statistical learning theory. ...
Structural Characterization of Iowa’s Rubblized PCC Pavements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rubblization is considered one of the sustainable surface preparation techniques before placing a hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay that involves breaking the concrete pavement into pieces. The design of the structural overlay ...
Moisture Susceptibility of Subgrade Soils Stabilized by Lignin-Based Renewable Energy Coproduct
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sustainable use of biomass as a renewable source of energy can be an alternative solution to the cost of fossil-based energy and global warming. Production of biofuel from plant biomass results not only in bio-based energy, ...
Multivariate Life Cycle Cost Analysis Related to Fatigue Cracking in Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements Subjected to Superloads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A recent trend in pursuing high transportation efficiency has resulted in a significant change in the size and capacity of superloads, as well as variation in the size and capacity of implements of husbandry and superheavy ...
Accuracy of Predictive Models for Dynamic Modulus of Hot-Mix Asphalt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Various models have been developed over the past several decades to predict the dynamic modulus
Calibration of Pavement ME Design and Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide Performance Prediction Models for Iowa Pavement Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The AASHTO mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (
Sensitivity Analysis of Rigid Pavement Systems Using the Mechanistic-Empirical Design Guide Software
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Initiatives are underway to implement the new mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) in Iowa. This paper focuses on the sensitivity study of jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP) and continuously reinforced ...
Evaluating Full-Scale Electrically Conductive Concrete Heated-Pavement Systems to Identify Key Design Parameters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although electrically conductive concrete (ECON) heated-pavement system (HPS) is a promising alternative to traditional snow-removal methods, the lack of design guidelines for future ECON projects hinders their widespread ...
Evaluation of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Rigid Airfield Pavement Cracking Failure Models
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) pavement thickness design software, FAA Rigid and Flexible Iterative Elastic Layer Design (FAARFIELD) uses bottom-up fatigue cracking as the only failure criterion in its rigid ...
