چکیده

creep compliance is one of the fundamental tests of mechanistic- empirical flexible pavement design procedure in the aashto 2002 design guide. in this research, a new artificial neural network model for estimating the hma creep compliance with the generalization ability of r=0.949 has been developed successfully using feed forward multi layer perceptron artificial neural networks (anns) with levenberg-marquardt backpropagation training algorithm. the ann model has 14 inputs including selected percent passings from aggregate gradation curve, asphalt content, asphalt penetration degrees at 77 and 125 fahrenheit , asphalt penetration index and test temperature. the model has 8 outputs consist of creep compliances of hot mix asphalt at 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 seconds and poisson coefficient. all needed data has been extracted from ltpp database 2007 by developing many programs by sql in access 2000. as the result, 975 creep compliance tests data and 975 associated aggregate tests data series and 975 associated asphalt tests data series has been extracted successfully for anns training and evaluation.

Infrared Thermography Revolutionizes Hot-Mix Asphalt Paving

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) surfaces comprise about 90% of the highways and roads in the U.S. Highways and are typically engineered to last 15 years or more, but many have been failing early due to potholes, cracks, raveling, and other problems. This premature road failure unnecessarily wastes millions of taxpayer dollars every year. This paper describes a series of research studies that were conduct...

Hot Mix Asphalt Dynamic Modulus Prediction Models Using Neural Networks Approach

The primary objective of this study is to develop a simplified Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) dynamic modulus (|E*|) prediction model with fewer input variables compared to the existing regression based models without compromising prediction accuracy. ANN-based prediction models were developed using the latest comprehensive |E*| database that is available to the researchers containing 7,400 data points ...

Monthly runoff forecasting by means of artificial neural networks (ANNs)

Over the last decade or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools formodelling hydrological processes such as rainfall runoff processes. However, the employment of a single model doesnot seem to be an appropriate approach for modelling such a complex, nonlinear, and discontinuous process thatvaries in space and time. For this reason, this study aims at de...

Engineering characterisation of epoxidized natural rubber-modified hot-mix asphalt

Road distress results in high maintenance costs. However, increased understandings of asphalt behaviour and properties coupled with technological developments have allowed paving technologists to examine the benefits of introducing additives and modifiers. As a result, polymers have become extremely popular as modifiers to improve the performance of the asphalt mix. This study investigates the ...

Study of Compaction in Hot-Mix Asphalt Using Computer Simulations

During the process of compaction in Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures, the distance between aggregate particles decreases as they come together and eliminate air-voids. By measuring the inter-particle distances in a cut-section of a HMA sample the degree of compaction can be estimated. For this, a calibration curve is generated by computer simulation technique when the gradation and asphalt conten...

The Estimation of the Dynamic Modulus of Asphalt Mixtures Using Artificial Neural Networks

The dynamic modulus is the main input material property of asphalt mixtures for the modern mechanistic-empirical asphalt pavement design methods. The dynamic modulus is determined in laboratory by different procedures but in all cases, they require sophisticated equipment and well-trained personnel. When these experimental results are not available, they could be estimated using different predi...
