Integrating Skid Resistance and Safety Benefits into Life Cycle Cost Analysis for Pavement Surface Treatment Selection
(ASCE, 2022-03-09)Even though 30% of the annual highway fatalities originate from inferior roadway conditions, crash costs under regular operations have seldomly been included in the life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). Among the various condition ... -
Performance Evaluation of Fly Ash–Based Inverted Pavement System
(ASCE, 2022-04-05)The inverted pavement system is an alternate type of pavement system compared to rigid and flexible pavement systems. The base layer of inverted pavements is generally a cement-treated layer with varied cement content, ... -
Properties and Microstructures of Steel Slag Pervious Concrete with Anticrack Additives
(ASCE, 2022-03-14)Steel slag pervious concrete (SSPC) is a novel sustainable and ecofriendly pavement material. The constituent elements making up SSPC are typically cement, steel slag, superplasticizer, sand, and water. To improve its ... -
Evaluating the Efficiency of SMA Mixtures Containing Crumb Rubber and WMA Additives
(ASCE, 2022-02-28)The huge amount of waste tire deposit and its adverse influence on the environment is a serious global concern. Using crumb rubber (CR) as a bitumen additive not only improves the efficiency of asphalt mixtures but also ... -
Designs of Abrasion Resistant and Durable Concrete Pavements Made with SCMs for Cold Climates
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)Rutting from studded tire wear is a typical pavement distress in cold climates such as that of Alaska and other northern states. Current state-of-the-art advancements in material technology and concrete pavement design ... -
Simplified Method for Predicting Pavement Treatment Effectiveness: Case Study of Montreal Road Network
(ASCE, 2022-03-10)Most initial implementations of pavement management systems face limited or unavailable local prediction of treatment effectiveness. This means decision makers either are forced to borrow benchmark values from elsewhere ... -
Monitoring of Vertical Displacement of Concrete Slab End at Pavement Joint Based on FBG-Dowel Bar Signal
(ASCE, 2022-02-28)The vertical displacement of pavement concrete slab end at the joint is prone to emerge in its long-term service. It would lead to the occurrence of the joint faulting and other diseases, bringing safety hazards to the ... -
Analytical Calculations for Asphalt Pavement Considering Interlayer Performance
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)Asphalt pavement structures are composed of layered materials and are assumed to be completely continuous elastic layered systems in structural design. However, a number of studies have indicated that the interface is not ... -
A Statistical Principal Component Regression-Based Approach to Modeling the Degradative Effects of Local Climate and Traffic on Airfield Pavement Performance
(ASCE, 2022-03-11)Airfield pavement systems support the global economy, passenger travel, and national defense. Accurate pavement degradation predictions are critical inputs for maintenance and repair decisions, and when skillful, they may ... -
Rough-Set Based Association Rules toward Performance of High-Friction Road Markings
(ASCE, 2022-02-24)The objective of this study was to explore the association rules influencing the frictional performance of high-friction road markings based on the skid resistance acceptance standard in excess of 65 British Pendulum Number ... -
Evaluating Cracking Deterioration of Preventive Maintenance–Treated Pavements Using Machine Learning
(ASCE, 2022-03-02)Preventive maintenance treatments are extensively used in pavements due to their many benefits, including lowering life-cycle costs. Although the effectiveness of preventive treatments has been evaluated, many highway ... -
Dynamic Back-Calculation Approach of Deflections Obtained from the Rolling Dynamic Deflectometer: Application and Validation
(ASCE, 2022-02-09)Pavement response depends not only on loading magnitude and pavement material properties but also on the pavement’s dynamic parameters such as inertia, resonance, and damping. In a previous study, it was found that by using ... -
Development of Time–Depth–Damage Functions for Flooded Flexible Pavements
(ASCE, 2022-02-22)The first step toward building pavement structures that are resilient to flooding is to have a proper understanding of the impact of inundation on the pavement. Depth-damage functions have been developed and are widely ... -
Characteristics of Resilient Modulus of Weathered Phyllite Subgrade during Saturation Process
