Abstract: This paper integrates the advantages of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy logic theory and develops a new approach for pavement condition assessment and project prioritization. Roughness, deflection, surface ...

Abstract: An analytical solution of steady-state dynamic response of a multilayered viscoelastic medium to a moving distributed load is obtained using a novel approach that combines transfer matrix method ...

Abstract: An effective inverse analysis computer program that integrates nonlinear optimization algorithm and forward dynamic analysis of multilayered medium is developed for inferring structural and material ...

Abstract: A rigorous theoretical foundation for solving elastodynamic inverse problem of multilayered media under an impulse load is established in this paper. The inversion is built upon the forward ...

Abstract: Reliability-based analysis of road geometric design has been reported in literatures as a trend in transportation safety study. In the reliability analysis of a horizontal curve, the performance function is usually formulated ...

Abstract: Four kinds of polymer modifier widely used in China are selected to modify the performance of asphalt mixture: styrene butadiene styrene (China), PR PLAST.S (France), Domix (Germany), and Rad Spunrie (China). The main ...
