Impact of FWD Testing Variability on Pavement Evaluations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Airfield pavement evaluations commonly include nondestructive testing. These evaluations are used for projecting pavement performance and for designing pavement rehabilitation options. To apply reliability concepts to these ... -
Model Prediction of Rutting in Asphalt Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)A new elastoplastic model is presented for predicting the stress/strain response of asphalt concrete under cyclic loading. The model utilizes multiyield surfaces and isotropic hardening. Rowe's stress dilatancy theory is ... -
Evaluation of Count Location Selection Methods for Estimation of O-D Matrices
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)Origin-destination (O-D) trip matrix estimation from traffic count surveys is regarded as the most economical and effective methodology in road network analysis for transport planning and traffic management. Despite the ... -
Aspects of Stopping-Sight Distance on Crest Vertical Curves
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1998)In the present study a simple methodology is developed, by which the values of available sight distance, for any driver location on crest vertical curves (CVCs), can be precisely and directly calculated. This methodology ... -
