Abstract: This paper describes the development and validation of an empirical model for predicting the International Roughness Index (IRI) over time. The model is designed to balance mathematical complexity and ease of implementation ...

Abstract: Longitudinal cracking has been identified as the predominant distress in thin bonded whitetopping with a 1.83-m (6-ft) longitudinal joint spacing. However, the structural models in existing whitetopping design procedures ...

Abstract: This study evaluates the creep and recovery response of different asphalt binders in unaged and short-term aged conditions. The multiple stress creep and recovery (MSCR) test has been carried out from 40 to 70°C at five ...

Abstract: Although several studies observed pavement responses after flooding, no detailed quantification has been done to date. This paper has estimated different pavements’ performances with flooding to identify flood-resilient ...

Abstract: A comprehensive mathematical program was formulated to determine simultaneously (1) an optimum number of pavement clusters, (2) cluster memberships of pavement samples, (3) cluster-specific significant ...

Abstract: In this study, the Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA) was investigated for its ability to detect asphalt paving mixtures designed for airfields that may be prone to rutting. The objective of this study is to evaluate acceptance ...

Abstract: Interfacial bonding among asphalt binder and aggregates plays a significant role in asphalt concrete performance and potential for moisture damage. Previous studies have established experimental procedures to quantify the ...
