Developing Specification Limits for Hot Mix Asphalt Properties and Impact on Pay Factors
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Specification limits are developed and employed by the departments of transportation to determine the percent of Lot quantity within specified limits, and then used later to make payment to contractors. Developing these ... -
Development of Pavement Deterioration Prediction Models for Low Volume Roads Using System Dynamics
(ASCE, 9/1/2020 1)Pavements are the basic infrastructure required for the overall economic development of a country. A realistic prediction of pavement deterioration is mandatory for the effective maintenance of these pavements and, hence, ... -
Evaluation of Warranty and Nonwarranty Pavement Performance Using Survival Analysis
(ASCE, 3/1/2020 1)Pavement warranties are an innovative contracting procedure to protect investment in pavement construction and maintenance. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) has managed its pavement warranty program since ... -
Characterization of In Situ Modulus of Asphalt Pavement and Its Relation to Cracking Performance Using SASW Method
(ASCE, 2020)Asphalt material is generally characterized by the modulus, whose change and decay under the same condition could be considered an indicator of pavement performance deterioration. A nondestructive seismic method, the ... -
Numerical Simulation of Seasonal Variations of Base Course Resilient Modulus in Pavement Structures in Nonfrost Regions
(ASCE, 2020)The seasonal variation of unbound material properties is often significant, and water within a pavement structure is a principal cause of pavement deterioration. A small water content increment will result in a significant ... -

Use of Biological Additives in Concrete Pavements: A Review of Opportunities and Challenges
(ASCE, 2020)In light of the substantial life-cycle energy footprints and environmental impacts of traditional pavements, the use of biological additives in pavements is becoming an appealing option that helps the greening of pavements. ... -
Friction-ResNets: Deep Residual Network Architecture for Pavement Skid Resistance Evaluation
(ASCE, 2020)Pavement friction and surface texture are crucial for highway safety. Acknowledging the gaps in understanding the relationship between pavement surface friction and texture, this paper introduces a novel deep residual ... -
Influence of Geogrid Reinforcement on the Drying Shrinkage of High-Strength Concrete Pavements
(ASCE, 2020)This study investigated the effect of geogrid reinforcement on the drying shrinkage behavior of high-strength concrete (HSC) pavements. Three groups of HSC prism specimens with dimensions of 75×75×280 mm were tested. The ... -
Algorithm for Estimating International Roughness Index by Response-Based Measuring Device
(ASCE, 2020)Inertial profilers have been the mainstream measuring device for pavement roughness for decades, but many local government agencies still use profilographs and other simple measuring devices due to the relatively high cost ... -
Sensitivity of Rigid Pavement Performance Predictions to Individual Climate Variables using Pavement ME Design
(ASCE, 2020)Five individual climate variables are required as climatic inputs in a pavement design using Pavement ME Design (PMED, a pavement design tool). While it is believed that all five climatic variables affect the distress ... -
Development of Systematic Mitigation Strategy Utilizing Computer-Based Guidelines for Reflective Cracking
(ASCE, 2020)Composite pavements currently are the most prevalent pavement type for highway rehabilitation projects in the US. However, composite pavements are susceptible to pavement distresses inherent in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement ... -
Determination of Allowable Rutting Depth Based on Driving Safety Analysis
(ASCE, 2020)To evaluate the effect of different rutting depths on driving safety as well as determine the allowable rutting depth, an evaluation model is established based on a simulation program of the vehicle–road interactions. ... -
