Neural Network–Based Multiple-Slab Response Models for Top-Down Cracking Mode in Airfield Pavement Design
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recognized for some time that its current rigid pavement design model, involving a single slab loaded at one edge by a single aircraft gear, is inadequate with respect to ... -
Influence of Measurement Variability of International Roughness Index on Uncertainty of Network-Level Pavement Evaluation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)International roughness index (IRI) is widely employed for evaluating pavement performance. It is a critical indicator used by state transportation agencies to identify the maintenance demands for road sections. However, ... -
Estimation of Asphalt Concrete Modulus Using the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The mechanical dynamic modulus test was used to determine the dynamic moduli of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) with and without different types of fibers, and master curves were developed. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test ... -
Probabilistic Mechanistic-Based Pavement Damage Costs for Multitrip Overweight Vehicles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The main objective of this paper is to present a probabilistic approach for estimating asphalt concrete (AC) pavement damage–associated costs (PDAC) attributed to overweight (OW) vehicles. The approach is based on ... -
Crushed Limestone Aggregate Strength Influenced by Gradation, Fines Content, and Dust Ratio
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Quality classes of aggregate materials used in unbound base and subbase construction are quite important for the longevity of highway pavements. Aggregate gradation, fines content, Atterberg limits, and dust ratio all ... -
An Unsupervised Cluster Method for Pavement Grouping Based on Multidimensional Performance Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pavement condition data usually consist of multiple performance indicators, which poses difficulties in maintenance and fund allocation decision making. In conventional practice, empirical-based scoring methods have been ... -
Pavement Cracking Detection Based on Three-Dimensional Data Using Improved Active Contour Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Three-dimensional (3D) pavement distress detection mechanisms have become the trend for pavement performance evaluation, and therefore, a comprehensive study for a high-efficiency pavement distress detection model still ... -
Precision Assessment of the Florida Texture Meter in Hot Mix Asphalt
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Over the last several years, significant studies have been conducted to measure pavement texture. The Florida Texture Meter, or FTM, is a recently developed portable laser-based device that measures the surface texture of ... -
Modeling of Flexible Pavement Serviceability Based on the Fuzzy Logic Theory
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Pavement serviceability plays a vital role in the transportation infrastructure system management. Inaccuracy in prediction leads to an improper maintenance strategy. Thereby, this research is an attempt to implement one ... -
Computation of Pavement Vertical Surface Deflections from Traffic Speed Deflectometer Data: Evaluation of Current Methods
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Vertical surface deflections and deflection indices are common parameters used by pavement engineers to the evaluate structural condition of a pavement. At the network level, traffic speed deflectometers (TSDs) have been ... -
Field Measurement and Modeling of Vertical and Longitudinal Strains from Falling Weight Deflectometer Testing
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study investigates longitudinal tensile and vertical compressive strains at the bottom of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) layer subjected to a falling weight deflectometer during different seasons at the fully instrumented ... -
Barriers to Implementing Data-Driven Pavement Treatment Performance Evaluation Process
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)State highway agencies have been collecting a massive amount of pavement condition data by using automated collection technologies. This rich historical data set has great potential to support data-driven pavement management ... -
Load Transfer Restoration with Diamond Grinding on Rigid Pavements: Short-Term and Long-Term Effectiveness
