poor adhesion between two successive bituminous layers causes adverse effects on the structural strength of the pavement and develops a numbers of premature failure. to improve the adhesion, it is a general practice to apply a tack coat over an existing or newly constructed bituminous surface before laying another bituminous layer. the main objective of this study is to explore the influence of...

In the paper, a new partial discharge pattern recognition approach based on association rules mining is developed. Some statistical parameters are extracted from the sampled transient earth voltage data and classic Apriori algorithm is employed to mine the association rules between those parameters and the corresponding fault types. Moreover, using other experimental data obtained in the labora...
