Extending the Service Life of Pavements
The cost of road construction and expenditures on the maintenance of pavements, i.e., their whole life cost, represents a lot of money. The paper describes a procedure for a pavement management system with degradation models and estimates the length of ...

Mixed‐level orthogonal experiments and SCB‐DIC testing were conducted to evaluate the effects of six production parameters on the anti‐cracking performance of plant‐mixed hot recycled asphalt mixtures. Cracking evolution was characterized using FI, CIE, and ECR.

Research on effect of component materials and strength of asphalt concrete
Most of highways a paved with hot-mix asphalt concrete. However, there is evidence that the number of premature distresses in the asphalt pavements is increasing. Heavier truck axle weights, traffic volumes are some of the factors leading to the increase

This study integrates meso‐void characterization, statistical analysis, and machine learning to predict the sound absorption of porous asphalt concrete. Void‐ratio‐related features dominate prediction, while Extra Trees performs best among five evaluated models, supporting acoustic‐oriented PAC mixture design.

ABSTRACT This study draws on neo‐institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and the resource‐based view to examine the relationship between the use of Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and firms' Environmental Performance (EP). Focusing on French companies listed on the SBF 120 index from 2002 to 2021, it investigates how LCA adoption influences EP across three

Recycling of Asphalt Pavements with Asphalt Rubber
Pavement recycling has been an important rehabilitation technique to deal with reclaimed materials from old pavements which are usually sent to landfills. The application of this technique contributes to: i) the accomplishment of the requirements defined by the European legislation for the amount of material sent to landfills; ii) the reduction in the ...

We analysed 16 years of census data from 27 protected areas across Iran to identify factors associated with population growth in the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa). Population dynamics were associated primarily with protection history and management characteristics and with water availability in surrounding landscapes, while broad‐scale ...
