Abstract: The performance of road and airport wearing courses does not depend only on their bearing capacity. Many of the properties and characteristics of a pavement, such as its friction, drainability, and acoustic absorption, ...

Abstract: Acceptance procedures are usually defined in terms of the fraction of elements that fall outside certain specification limits, such as the data dispersion around a central tendency. In contrast, design methods usually ...

Abstract: Quality control/quality assurance tests can be used to demonstrate that an as-constructed pavement has characteristics different from the contracted specifications of the as-designed pavement because the bitumen employed ...

Abstract: Electromagnetic sensors can be exploited to determine properties (i.e., density) of hot mix asphalts (HMAs) by observing the surface polarization effects that occur in the radio frequency range of the electromagnetic ...
