the performance of asphaltic pavements during their service life is highly dependent on the mechanical properties of the asphaltic layers. therefore, in order to extend their service life, scientists and engineers are constantly trying to improve the mechanical properties of the asphaltic mixtures. one common method of improving the performance of asphaltic mixtures is using different types of ...

Asphalt concrete pavements in hot and dry climates deteriorate prematurely some time after their construction. This degradation is accelerated under the effect of heavy vehicle traffic pressure high temperatures bitumen has softened. A study was conducted on RN1 Burkina Faso order to analyze evolution temperature process asphalt pavements. It consisted one hand recording at different points ins...

Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) tests were routinely conducted on three Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) test items in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA's) National Airport Pavement Test Facility (NAPTF) to verify the uniformity of the test pavement structures and to measure pavement responses during full-scale traffic testing. A six-wheel aircraft landing gear with dual-tridem configur...

Pavements in urban area absorb more sunlight due to the canyon-like geomorphology of geometry and store heat great thermal bulk properties concrete. Heat released from pavements warms up air, contributing island. Recently, uses cool reduce pavement temperature as an island mitigation have gained momentum. Understanding solar insolation a is important adopt right option for place. This study mea...

this paper is a state-of-the-art in sulphur-asphalt (sa) design technology based on a comprehensive analysis of current practice and technical literature, in order to investigate the possible use of sa pavements in iran. in this paper, the major aspects(material, technology, properties, production, placement, quality assurance, design, and field varification) of sa pavements are considered. fer...

Permeable pavements are a type of sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) technique that are used around the world to infiltrate and treat urban stormwater runoff and to minimize runoff volumes. Urban stormwater runoff contains significant concentrations of suspended sediments that can cause clogging and reduce the infiltration capacity and effectiveness of permeable pavements. It is important...

Pavements always play a predominant role in transportation. Health monitoring of pavements is becoming more and more significant, as frequently suffering from cracks, rutting, and slippage renders them prematurely out of service. Effective and reliable sensing elements are thus in high demand to make prognosis on the mechanical properties and occurrence of damage to pavements. Therefore, in thi...
