Evaluation of the Rutting Performance of Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete Containing Ferrochrome Slag Aggregate

open access: yesConstruction Materials
Ferrochrome (FeCr) slag is a by-product of high-carbon ferrochromium, which is used in the manufacturing of stainless steel. In this study, FeCr was evaluated as a replacement for natural aggregates in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) bituminous base and wearing ...

The effect of axle load spectra from AASHTO method on flexible pavement performance

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Technology, 2019
Currently, methods used for pavement design are empirical and based on experiments conducted in the 1960s. Due to the number of variables that can influence an empirical analysis, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) proposed a ...

Neural networks based models for mechanistic-empirical design of rubblized concrete pavements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Rubblization is an in-place rehabilitation technique that involves breaking the concrete pavement into pieces. This process results in a structurally sound, rut resistant base layer which prevents reflective cracking (by obliterating the existing ...

Inverse Analysis of Pavement Structural Properties Based on Dynamic Finite Element Modeling and Genetic Algorithm

open access: yesInternational Journal of Transportation Science and Technology, 2013
With the movement towards the implementation of mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG), an accurate determination of pavement layer moduli is vital for predicting pavement critical mechanistic responses.

Neural Networks Modeling of Stress Growth in Asphalt Overlays due to Load and Thermal Effects during Reflection Cracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Although several techniques have been introduced to reduce reflective cracking, one of the primary forms of distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays of flexible and rigid pavements, the underlying mechanism and causes of reflective cracking are not yet
