Use of Soft Computing Applications to Model Pervious Concrete Pavement Condition in Cold Climates
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Development of an adequate performance model based on an appropriate condition index has been a major challenge for engineers particularly in case of a new type of design such as pervious concrete pavement structures (PCPSs) ...
Optimization of Hot-Mix Asphalt Surface Course Mix Design for Fatigue Resistance: High-Friction Aggregate and PG Plus
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The sensitivity of the fatigue resistance of surface hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes is evaluated for three primary design variables. Aggregate type, binder type, and binder content as well as their interaction have been ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of the fatigue resistance of surface hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes is evaluated for three primary design variables. Aggregate type, binder type, and binder content as well as their interaction have been ...
Image-Based Coarse-Aggregate Angularity Analysis and Evaluation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The angularity of coarse aggregates significantly influences the performance of asphalt pavement. However, the research remains in the qualitative stage, and no universal evaluation standard has been proposed. This research ...
Assessing Pavement Friction Need for Safe Integration of Autonomous Vehicles into Current Road System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Safe integration of autonomous vehicles (AVs) into the current public road system may imply potential improvements to roadway infrastructure. However, the current research effort is lacking in one of the important ...
Traffic Delay Cost Savings Associated with Trenchless Technology
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper focuses on trenchless technology cost savings due to elimination of traffic disruptions associated with utility cuts. Typical construction durations and traffic control plans for two lane roads have been utilized ...
Braking Availability Tester for Realistic Assessment of Aircraft Landing Distance on Winter Runways
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper is concerned with the development of a new measurement device for the realistic assessment of braking capability of landing airplanes for winter runways. The conventional and current practice of runway condition ...
Illumination Compensation Model with <i>k</i>-Means Algorithm for Detection of Pavement Surface Cracks with Shadow
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A small amount of research has been conducted in dealing with pavement shadow–affected cracks detection. Hence, this research aims to develop the illumination compensation model (ICM) and k-means clustering algorithm–based ...
