Abstract: An innovative uniaxial compression test, capable of simulating the confinement and temperature condition in actual pavement, was developed in this study to evaluate the deformation of asphalt mixtures. Small-diameter loading ...

Abstract: Infrared thermography is a cost-effective nonintrusive testing approach to assess surface and near-surface distresses, such as asphalt pavement surface cracks. However, the raw data collected by thermal cameras cannot be ...

Abstract: Building information modeling (BIM) is well-known for improving the efficiency of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. Currently, the support for web displays using web graphics library (WebGL) ...

Abstract: This study presented a Bayesian logistic model to evaluate the failure probability of asphalt pavement preventive treatments. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation using Metropolis-Hasting sampling was adopted for ...

Abstract: The long-term durability of asphalt pavements is closely related to the oxidative aging of asphalt binders. Oxidative aging depends on the oxygen diffusion in asphalt mixtures. To further investigate oxidation reactions ...

Abstract: Pavement cracks are a kind of common distress in road service time, and their length measurement is critical for pavement maintenance. The current automatic method of crack length measurement uses segmentation algorithms ...

Abstract: One of the key steps in pavement maintenance is the fast and accurate identification of the distresses, defects, and pavement markings and ability to conduct the maintenance before the irreversible damages. Recently, ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper was to investigate the evolution of air voids (AV) and deformation and the failure mechanism of porous asphalt (PA) mixtures under high temperatures. An advanced repeated loading permanent ...

Abstract: Consumers are becoming progressively demanding in urban commerce with the booming development of the internet and e-commerce. Recent research on location selection for commercial centers either involved the use of a variety ...
