Abstract: Flushing is a pavement surface defect that affects the structural integrity of thin-sprayed seal (chip seal) surfacings. Analysis was carried out on pavement performance data to determine the combination of factors that ...

Abstract: The reported study was undertaken to investigate the micromechanical interactions that occur between sprayed seal (chip seal) layer materials in order to examine their relationship to the initiation of flushing. In particular, ...

Abstract: Highway engineers understand the damaging impact on the performance of the road pavement when excess water enters into the pavement. As a consequence, most pavement design and rehabilitation methods recognize the importance ...

Abstract: Maintenance decision making that selects appropriate maintenance strategies for a road network is an important and complex part of infrastructure asset management (IAM). Multiobjective optimization (MOO) can help in ...

Abstract: Unbound granular materials (UGM) are extensively used as basecourse materials around the world as they are capable of bearing relatively high traffic loads and are an economical option in comparison to bound materials. The ...

Abstract: In the reported study the viability of using computed tomography (CT) scanning for assessing flushing defects in thin sprayed seal (chipseal) surfacings was explored. The study was undertaken to investigate the micromechanical ...

Abstract: Investment decisions and our infrastructure’s performance are under increasing pressure to provide transformative solutions to address social injustice, environmental impacts, and poverty and improve intergenerational ...
