Abstract: The performance of railway tracks can be assessed by separately applying different approaches, such as reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety (RAMS) and lifecycle costing (LCC). Results of these approaches ...

Abstract: Bituminous mixtures with low nominal maximum aggregate size, NMAS, have appreciable acoustic performance. Their surface texture is crucial to balance acoustic- and safety-related requirements. Unfortunately, there is a ...

Abstract: Assessing the volumetrics of hot-mix asphalts (HMAs) is an important aspect of quality-control and quality-assurance procedures. The economic value of HMAs is usually assessed in terms of their mix bulk specific gravity (
