Application of Time Domain Reflectometry Method in Monitoring State Parameters of Subgrade Soil in Pavement
(ASCE, 2020)Moisture content has a direct influence on structural performance of pavement. Every year in Australia, heavy vehicles damage roads when the moisture content of the pavement layers reaches a critical value because of heavy ... -
Development of Complex Modulus-Based Rutting Index Parameter for Asphalt Mixtures
(ASCE, 2020)Rutting distress within a pavement structure has a direct correlation with mixtures’ structural responses to loading. For this reason, the complex modulus (|E*| and phase angle) master curves may be used to estimate the ... -
Effect of Fly Ash Geopolymer on Layer Coefficients of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Bases
(ASCE, 2020)The utilization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material in road construction has gained prominence with the backdrop of sustainability. The present study evaluates the usage of a significant amount of RAP material ... -
Laboratory-Based Evaluation of Pavement Marking Characteristics
(ASCE, 2020)Despite the growing demand for pavement marking materials that facilitate road driving by providing increased visibility, there is concern about the durability and long-term weatherability of these products. Current ... -
Use of Sulphoaluminate Cement in Grouted Macadam as Sustainable Pavement Material
(ASCE, 2020)Rutting of asphalt pavement is a major issue that affects its serviceability in a hot climate. Grouted macadam (GM) has been used as an alternative material to tackle rutting problems, thanks to its high stiffness. Yet, ... -
Effect of Rumble Strip Profiles on Noise Levels
(ASCE, 2020)In this study, the effect of different shoulder rumble strip profiles, including cylindrical, sinusoidal, and raised audible rumble strips, on the tire–pavement interface noise, internal noise (inside the vehicle), and ... -
Linking Traffic Volume and Weight Data for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design
(ASCE, 2020)Pavement engineers are now practicing the cluster method to categorize routes by grouping them based on the similarity of their axle load spectra (ALSs). Ideally, once clusters are formed, a classification model needs to ... -
Assignments of Pavement Treatment Options: Genetic Algorithms versus Mixed-Integer Programming
(ASCE, 2020)Assigning specific maintenance treatments is an important process in a pavement management system (PMS). A decision-making method to support this process should be based on an objective of optimizing the service life and ... -
Laboratory and Field Evaluation of RAP for Cement Concrete Pavements
(ASCE, 2020)In the present study, the feasibility of coarse reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for dry lean concrete (DLC) and pavement quality concrete (PQC) mixes is assessed through laboratory and field investigation. Two kinds of ... -
Investigation of the Hydraulic Properties of Pervious Pavement Mixtures: Characterization of Darcy and Non-Darcy Flow Based on Pore Microstructures
(ASCE, 2020)The significance of water flow behavior as one of the main properties of pervious pavements has long been recognized. However, the quantification of flow characteristics and the relationship to complex pore microstructures ... -
Development of Rutting Model for Indian Highways Based on Rut Depth Simulations from AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design Software
(ASCE, 2020)A majority of the approaches currently available for predicting rutting suggest limiting the vertical compressive strains on top of the subgrade in a pavement structure. Such approaches do not explicitly consider the rutting ... -
Computer-Aided Procedure for Analysis of Effect of Gradation and Compaction Temperature in Asphalt Mix Design by Using DEM
(ASCE, 2020)The procedure for asphalt mixture design includes determining grading, asphalt content, other volume properties, mechanical performance assessment, and moisture damage potential. This paper proposes a computational method ... -
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Pavement Preventive-Maintenance Treatments in Mitigating Longitudinal Cracks in Wet-Freeze Climatic Zones
(ASCE, 2020)Preventive-maintenance treatments are increasingly being adopted in pavement preservation during recent years. For such treatments to be effective, their selection must be based on the right conditions. This study quantifies ... -
Accelerated Pavement Testing for Rutting Evaluation of Hot-Mix Asphalt Overlay under High Tire Pressure
(ASCE, 2020)This study focused on the rutting characteristics of two typical hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays in airfield composite pavement under high tire pressure: asphalt concrete (AC) and stone mastic asphalt (SMA). To fulfill this ... -
Thermal Analysis of Hot Mix Asphalt Pothole Repair by Finite-Element Method
(ASCE, 2020)Traditional repair methods tend to suffer from inadequate net interface heating because the combined effect of placing hot fill mix in a cold, old pavement leads to inadequate net temperature levels. The outcome of this ... -
Performance of an Airfield Flexible Pavement and a Novel PCN Determination Method
(ASCE, 2020)This paper presents the results of a study that evaluated the performance of a new runway at the northernmost US airport in Barrow, Alaska. Due to the appearance of early pavement surface distresses, nondestructive ... -
Evaluation of Effectiveness of Cleaning on In Situ Permeability Restoration of Open-Graded Friction Course
(ASCE, 2020)The open-graded friction course (OGFC) with a high air void has been used due to its provided benefits; however, the clogging issue becomes a challenge for in-service pavement with an OGFC overlay. This study relied on an ... -
Performance Evaluation of Asphalt Pavement Resurfacing Treatments Using Structural Equation Modeling
(ASCE, 2020)The structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used to evaluate the performance of pavement resurfacing treatments. The pavement performance was regarded as a latent variable that cannot be directly observed, pavement ... -
Equivalent Modulus for Fine-Grained Subgrade Soil
