Pavement condition assessment is an indispensable constituent in maintaining roadway infrastructure. Current practices for pavement condition assessment are labor intensive which introduce subjectivity in pavement rating and are time consuming. Automated methods rely on full 3D reconstruction of the pavement surface which introduces high equipment and computation costs. This paper presents a me...

This study aims to evaluate economic and environmental benefits of porous pavement surface using life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) and life-cycle assessment (LCA). The research will focus on application of porous surface for sidewalk. The life-cycle inventory data were collected from literature search, online database, and project records. The comparison study was conducted between pervious pavin...

The HDM-4 aids in estimating the deterioration of pavement as well intricate interactions between environment, vehicles, surface, and structure pavement. It predicts how roads will deteriorate over time due to increased traffic. current study was carried out at Hyderabad, particularly which are subjected heavy adopted for Dhulapally Bahadurpally (DB), Gandimaisamma Bowrampet (GB), Medchal (GM),...

ABSTRACT: Most pavement maintenance management systems tend to be either non-analytical databases or statistical correlation models. However, pavement maintenance is part of a complex system comprising the road pavement, the environment, diverse users, the maintenance authority and Local/State/Federal Governments. This system has significant feedbacks, making it a suitable field for system dyna...

Moisture damage to bituminous pavement occurs via several mechanisms, and appears in diverse forms such as blistering, stripping, and disaggregation. Blistering is a fulminating phenomenon in which the trapped moisture evaporates and upheaves the pavement surface layer within a few hours as a result of so-called blistering heat. In contrast, stripping and disaggregation are types of internal ch...

The article presents a comprehensive asset management method. Here presented method aims to bridge the economic approach with technical road infrastructure life cycle, namely its resilience and performance. value calculation methods are based both on socio-economic viewpoints community benefits of an asset, as well aspect condition residual calculations infrastructure. In contrast common method...
