On the Stabilizing Effect of Weigh Stations on Truck Equivalency Factors for Pavement Design
(ASCE, 5/26/2023 )In Costa Rica, weigh stations for trucks and commercial vehicles were reinstated in 2008. Since then, a stabilizing trend in the percentage of heavy vehicles with excess loading was observed. For pavement design purposes, ... -
The Adverse Effects of Depression-Type Distress on Driving in Asphalt Pavements
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Depressions are a type of distress that cause whole-body vibration (WBV) on people traveling in vehicles, adversely affecting traffic safety, especially at high driving speeds. The study investigated the WBV levels of ... -
Effectiveness of Pavement Grooving in Skidding Prevention on Horizontal Curves
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Pavement grooving is an accepted remedial measure to improve skid resistance and reduce crash rates on horizontal curves. However, besides experience-based guidelines, currently no mechanistic procedure is available for ... -
Exploration of Cracking-Related Performance-Based Specification Indexes for Airfield Asphalt Mixtures
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)This study assessed the cracking performance of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mixtures for airfield pavements and explored performance-based airfield asphalt mix specifications. Fundamental ... -
Detection of Unreported Treatments in Pavement Management System of Iowa DOT Using Machine Learning Classification Algorithm
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Treatment records are among the most frequently underreported data items in pavement management systems (PMSs), which negatively affects various PMS analysis tools, such as pavement performance and deterioration models. ... -
Effects of Synthetic Fibers on the Mechanical Properties and Thickness Requirements of Roller-Compacted Concrete for Pavements
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Due to the construction method used, the use of conventional rebar is impractical for roller-compacted concrete (RCC) pavement applications, and the use of discrete fibers seems to be the best alternative to this problem. ... -
Freeze–Thaw Durability of Conventional and Novel Permeable Pavement Replacement
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Permeable concrete pavements are becoming more common as a stormwater management system to mitigate urban flooding. However, they have several well-defined drawbacks including low permeability, high clogging potential, and ... -
Evaluation of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Binder Rejuvenating Behavior during Hot In-Place Recycling
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)In this paper, a micro-macro evaluation method of rejuvenator diffusion extent into aged asphalt in hot in-place recycling was put forward considering the cooling process of the recycled layer after paving. The material ... -
Investigation of Curing and Strength Characteristics of Cold-Mix Asphalt with Rice Husk Ash–Activated Fillers
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Presently, the application of cold-mix asphalt (CMA) in structural layers of pavement is limited due to the slow curing rate and low early-life strength. This study attempts to achieve the reduction in curing period and ... -
Optimization-Based Decision-Making Approach for Incorporating the Length Constraint of Preventive Maintenance into Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Planning
(ASCE, 2022/12/01)Most existing pavement maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) decision-making approaches ignore the length constraint of preventive maintenance (PM). This study proposed a practical optimization-based decision-making ... -
