Prediction of Dynamic Modulus of Hot Mix Asphalts with Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 This study evaluated the viscoelastic properties of a performance grade (PG) binder blended with different percentages of binders recovered from reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) for conditions (materials, climate, and specifications) prevailing in Oklahoma. The viscoelastic properties of the blended binders were then used to estimate dynamic modulus (E∗

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The existing pavement performance prediction methods are limited to single‐factor predictions, which often face the challenges of high cost, low efficiency, and poor accuracy. It is difficult to simultaneously solve the temporal, spatial, and exogenous dependencies between pavement performance data and maintenance, the service life of highways, the ...

Mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG): a bird’s-eye view [PDF]
Journal of Modern Transportation, 2011 Past editions of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Guide for Design of Pavement Structures have served well for several decades; nevertheless, many serious limitations exist for their continued use as the nation's primary pavement design procedures. Researchers are now incorporating the lat- est advances in
