This study presents an application of artificial neural networks (ANN) for the prediction of repeated creep test results for polypropylene (PP) modified asphalt mixtures. Polypropylene fibers are used to modify the bituminous binder in order to improve the physical and mechanical properties of the resulting asphaltic mixture. Marshall specimens, fabricated with M-03 type polypropylene fibers at...

Abstract Marshall Olkin Exponentiated Dagum distribution (MOED) with four shape parameters and one scale parameter is proposed. Alternative expressions are derived for the newly proposed to sort out lengthy calculations. Various properties of MOED derived, including measure central tendency, dispersion, hazard rate survival also MOED. Moreover, network moments, moment generating function, quant...

this paper describes the effects of reinforcement by randomly distributed nylon fibers and addition of nanoclay on some engineering properties of a typical asphalt concrete. the properties of asphalt concrete reinforced by different percentages of 25 mm nylon fibers have been compared with those of the mixtures containing different percentages of nanoclay and those in which both the fibers and ...

Porous asphalt paving is a modern design method that differs from the usual pavements' traditional designs. The difference structure of porous pavements allows free passage fluids through their layers, which controls or reduces amount runoff water accumulated in area by allowing flow rain and surface runoff. cross-structure this type works as suitable for managing rainwater representing groundw...

In this paper, the effect of adding recycled glass powder (RGP) as a third component in polymer modified bitumen is studied. RGP and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is added to the base bitumen in order to prepare modified binders and mixtures. The initial study is performed to determine physical properties of unmodified, SBR modified and RGP-SBR modified asphalt binders which prove RGP's compat...

We develop a new generalized family of the Gompertz-G distribution, namely, Marshall-Olkin-Gompertz-G distribution. Statistical properties proposed model are presented. Some special cases distributions Maximum likelihood estimates parameters also determined. A simulation study was conducted to assess performance maximum estimates. Applications demonstrate usefulness Marshall-Olkin-Gompertz-Weib...
