A recursive non-linear model was developed for the prediction of pavement performance as a function of traffic characteristics, pavement structural properties and environmental conditions. The model highlights some of the advantages of relaxing the linear restriction that is usually placed on the specification form of pavement performance models. First, a functional form that better represents ...

Modeling pavement performance by combining field and experimental data The accurate prediction of pavement performance is important for efficient management of the surface transportation infrastructure. By reducing the error of the pavement deterioration prediction, agencies can obtain significant budget savings through timely intervention and accurate planning. The goal of this research was to...

The ultra-high strength self-compacting concrete, UHSSCC is the new generation type of concrete with a compressive strength higher than 80MPa. The application of this type of concrete on the serviceability state in CFRP strengthened unbonded post-tensioned indeterminate I-beam is monitored and the results are compared theoretically using different standards. For this aim, full scale I-beam of 9...
