Triaxial Frequency Sweep Characterization of Asphalt-Aggregate Adhesion in Saskatchewan Asphaltic Mixes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Antistrip additives are commonly used to mitigate loss of asphalt-aggregate adhesion, particularly when siliceous aggregates are used in asphaltic concrete mix. Although both liquid antistrip and lime antistrip additives ... -
Comparative Study of Static and Dynamic Falling Weight Deflectometer Back-Calculations Using Probabilistic Approach
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The falling weight deflectometer (FWD) test is the most widely accepted and used technique for nondestructive evaluation of pavements. In this test, the pavement response to the impulse load of a falling weight is analyzed ... -
Application of Shakedown Theory in Characterizing Traditional and Recycled Pavement Base Materials
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)To facilitate the use of recycled materials in pavement construction, a mechanistic-based approach is required to better characterize pavement base materials. This paper demonstrates the application of the shakedown theory ... -
Exploring Best-Fit Hazard Functions and Lifetime Regression Models for Urban Weekend Activities:Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Activity-based travel demand forecasting consists of modeling activity type, location, and duration with a view to improving transportation planning and creating effective traffic management systems. Research to date has ... -
Roughness Model Accounting for Heterogeneity Based on In-Service Pavement Performance Data
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Deterioration modeling is a key component in a transportation infrastructure management system. It serves to capture and predict the performance of a facility. A sound deterioration model should incorporate: (1) relevant ... -
Evolution and Development of Multiairport Systems: Worldwide Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper presents an analysis of the dynamics of evolution of multiairport systems worldwide that can help to guide their effective development in the future. Given the capacity constraints on existing major airports, ... -
Multivariate Traffic Forecasting Technique Using Cell Transmission Model and SARIMA Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The paper develops a short-term space-time traffic flow forecasting strategy integrating the empirical-based seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) time-series forecasting technique with the theoretical-based ... -
Determining Reliability of an Asphalt Mix Design: Case of Marshall Method
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Asphalt mix design involves a number of tasks culminating in a laboratory estimation of suitable asphalt binder content which is recommended for bulk manufacture of the mix. Generally, the suitable binder content is that ... -
New Layer-Moduli Back-Calculation Method Based on the Constrained Extended Kalman Filter
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)In pavement engineering, good estimation of layer moduli from nondestructive methods is an important tool for scheduling and designing rehabilitation projects. The falling weight deflectometer test is perhaps the most ... -
Estimation of Capacity of Two-Lane Two-Way Highways Using Simulation Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)The -
Origin-Based Partial Linearization Method for the Stochastic User Equilibrium Traffic Assignment Problem
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper proposes a modified origin-based partial linearization method for solving the logit-based stochastic user equilibrium traffic assignment problem formulated by a strictly convex minimization model in terms of ... -
Estimating Highway Capacity Considering Two-Regime Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Capacity can be derived by fitting a relationship between the three fundamental traffic variables: flow, speed, and density. The study uses a dual-regime model with the consideration of all three variables. Different forms ... -
Gray Clustering-Based Pavement Performance Evaluation

On the Study of Polishing of Road Surface under Traffic Load
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This study presents both a laboratory test and a model for simulating the polishing phenomenon of road surfaces when subjected to traffic. In laboratory tests a machine called “Wehner-Schulze machine” is used which performs ... -
Correction to the Infinite Mode for Lateral Buckling of Pipelines
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)A previously published solution for the minimum temperature for which a periodic laterally buckled solution is possible introduced an unnecessary restriction on the solution. Removing this restriction gives a true minimum ... -
Stop-Controlled Intersection Sight Distance: Minor Road on Tangent of Horizontal Curve
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Sight distance at the intersection of a minor road (controlled by a stop sign) and a major road is an important element of road safety. Several models have been recently developed for the analysis of sight distance at ... -
Capacity Expansion Problem for Large Urban Transportation Networks
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)A traffic network design problem attempts to find optimal network expansion policies under budget constraints. This can be formulated as a bilevel optimization problem: the upper level determines the optimal link capacity ... -
Comparison of Methods for Defining Geographical Connectivity for Variables of Trip Generation Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)The four-step procedure for travel demand modeling is ubiquitously used in the United States and elsewhere due to institutional and financial requirements. Trip generation analysis, which is the first step, is based on ... -
