The new AASHTO Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) provides pavement analysis and performance predictions for various feasible design scenarios. The MEPDG performance predictions for the anticipated climatic and traffic conditions depends on the values of the input parameters that characterize the pavement materials, layers, design features, and condition. This paper focuses on ...

Aging of asphalt pavements typically occurs through oxidation the and evaporation lighter maltenes from binder. The main objective this study is to evaluate influence aging on performance paving materials.nAsphalt concrete mixtures, were prepared, subjected short term (STA) procedure which involved heating loose mixtures in an oven for two period (4 8) hours at a temperature 135 o C. Then it wa...

a non-malleable code is a variant of an encoding scheme which is resilient to tampering attacks. the main idea behind nonmalleable coding is that the adversary should not be able to obtain any valuable information about the message. non-malleablecodes are used in tamper-resilient cryptography and protecting memories against tampering attacks. many different types of nonmalleability have already...

The objective of this research is to solve the problem lack prediction methods and basis for long-term road performance oil shale residue-modified soil in seasonally frozen regions. This paper summarizes expands resilient modulus related literature. Based on measured soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) compacted modified trend characteristics dynamic under freeze–thaw cycles, a semi-empirica...

Model-based elastography is fraught with problems owing to the ill-posed nature of the inverse elasticity problem. To overcome this limitation, we have recently developed a novel inversion scheme that incorporates a priori information concerning the mechanical properties of the underlying tissue structures, and the variance incurred during displacement estimation in the modulus image reconstruc...
