Evaluation of Lateral Distribution of Heavy Vehicles on Multilane Roads Using a Strip-Based Approach
(ASCE, 8/22/2023 )Most highway agencies use the default values of the lane distribution factor (LDF) as suggested by their pavement design guidelines. However, the use of the default value of the LDF results in over- or underestimation of ... -
Use of Extreme Value Distributions in Describing the Overloaded Axle Load Data from Pavements
(ASCE, 8/31/2023 )Analysis of overloaded axles has received scant attention during the pavement design process. Such overloaded axles are well known to cause extensive damage to the pavement, though the number of repetitions of such axles ... -
Application of Machine-Learning Algorithms for Predicting California Bearing Ratio of Soil
(ASCE, 8/9/2023 1)Subgrade strength is characterized by many indices such as the California bearing ratio, resilient modulus, and dynamic modulus. The California bearing ratio (CBR) of the subgrade soil is an important input parameter in ... -
Evaluation of Deflection Bowl Parameters in Low-Volume Roads
(ASCE, 7/31/2023 )Evaluation of pavement deflection bowl using nondestructive testing (NDT) is an ideal method for assessing the structural capacity of individual layers of a pavement system. However, the cost of modern NDT equipment and ... -
Damage Evolution Analysis in Cementitious Mixtures Using Acoustic Emission Techniques
