چکیده

evaluating existing flexible pavement condition is a pre-requisite to choose improvement technique that has to be adopted to enhance its quality. to evaluate existing pavements, non-destructive testing methods are desirable. benkelman beam and 5th wheel bump integrator are used to conduct non-destructive tests like deflection and roughness surveys on the existing pavement of 4 lane divided carriageway of nandigama – ibrahimpatnam section of nh-9 in the state of andhra pradesh (india). in this paper, an attempt has been made to develop and validate linear and logarithmic models between deflection and unevenness index for pavement under study and the correlation between these two parameters. the section selected for model validation is naidupet – sullurpet section of nh-5 in the state of andhra pradesh. it is found that validated unevenness index (ui) values from the model are 90% similar with the ui values obtained from roughness survey at second location. conducting deflection and roughness surveys cost around. 2,00,000 per km and is time consuming. the objective of the study is to develop a relation between deflection and unevenness index, such that, if one parameter is known, the second parameter can be calculated and hence, the survey time and cost can be minimized.

examining the relationship between fear of negative evaluation and communication strategies by iranian efl learners

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between fear of negative evaluation (fne) and communication strategies (css) among iranian efl learners. it was aimed to examine the differences in the use of communication strategies between speakers with high or low degree of fear of negative evaluation. the current study was a case study consisting of 10 english learners at...

Behavior of Flexible Pavements on Expansive Soils

This investigation discusses the findings on analysis results of a pavement structure constructed on a relatively expansive material consisting mainly of brown clayey silt in Tebessa, Algeria. Cores were brought to the laboratory from a piece of roadwork. Remolded samples were taken from subgrade of a deteriorated road. The soils were generally found to be of medium plasticity and of a medium t...

Modeling the Deflection Basin of Flexible Highway Pavements by Gene Expression Programming

In this study, Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is used in modeling the deflection basins measured on the surface of the flexible pavements. Backcalculation of the pavement layer moduli are well-accepted procedures for the evaluation of the structural capacity of pavements. The ultimate aim of the backcalculation process from Nondestructive Testing (NDT) results is to estimate the pavement mat...
