The bearing capacity and service life of a pavement are adversely affected by the presence of undrained water in the pavement layers. In cold winter climates, such as in Iowa, this problem is magnified further by the risk of frost damage when water is present. Therefore, wellperforming subsurface drainage systems form an important aspect of pavement design by the Iowa Department of Transportati...

Roads as part of the National transportasion system have an important role, especially in supporting economic, social and cultural, well environmental fields developed through a regional development approach order to achieve balance equity inter-regional development, form strengthen national (Law No. 38 2004 concering road).Bojonegoro Regency is one developing regencies East Java, acceleration ...

This paper focuses on comprehensive sensitivity analyses of various rigid pavement scenarios. Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement ( JPCP) sections designed for three traffic levels in each of five climate zones are evaluated in the sensitivity analyses. One-at-a-time (OAT) local sensitivity analysis was implemented using a design limit normalized sensitivity index (NSI) to provide both quantitative...

The depiction of the irregularity in nature is crucial for the realistic representation of the virtual world. For example, real pavement blocks are not always paved evenly, but partially sink over time. Many games or virtual reality systems however represent the pavement too neatly with perfectly flattened surfaces and clean texture images. In this paper, we suggest a method for representing re...

Road networks are a national critical infrastructure. The road assets need to be monitored and maintained efficiently as their conditions deteriorate over time. The condition of one of such assets, road pavement, plays a major role in the road network maintenance programmes. Pavement conditions depend upon many factors such as pavement types, traffic and environmental conditions. This paper pre...

As more and more utility installation and/or maintenance activities are located in highly congested urban roadways, frequent pavement utility cuts in such areas may cause more traffic disruption as well as deteriorate pavement life and quality. Utility owners normally need to obtain permits from public road authorities before commencing utility activities; however, public road authorities in Ta...

alveolar ridge is underdeveloped in ectodermal dysplasia (ed). the available treatment plans include fixed, removable or implant-supported prostheses, alone or in combination. a 5 year-old boy was referred for treatment to the department of prosthodontics, tehran university of medical sciences with the chief complaint of missing teeth. prosthodontic treatment was performed to improve masticatio...

A pavement management system (PMS) is a valuable tool and one of the critical elements of the highway transportation infrastructure. Since a vast amount of pavement data is frequently and continuously being collected, updated, and exchanged due to rapidly deteriorating road conditions, increased traffic loads, and shrinking funds, resulting in the rapid accumulation of a large pavement database...

This paper describes the Accelerated Testing with the LINTRACK-facility of the innovative ‘Rollpave’ test pavement that was developed within the theme ‘Modular Pavement Structures’ of the project ‘Roads for the Future’ of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management. The concept of ‘Rollpave’ is a thin pre-manufactured asphalt wearing course that is rolled on a reel. On si...

Semi-flexible pavement surfacing is a composite pavement that utilizes the porous pavement structure of the flexible bituminous pavement, which is subsequently grouted with appropriate cementitious materials. This study aims to investigate the compressive strength, flexural strength, and workability performance of cementitious grout. The grout mixtures are designed to achieve high strength and ...
