Assessment of Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) pavement performance: A case study in Georgia
Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) Pavements with a cement-stabilized layer are considered as semi-rigid structures. Although many state highway agencies across the United States have adopted the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), the local ...

An overview of asphalt pavement design for streets and roads
Pavements constitute a geotechnical problem since they are built on the ground and with materials obtained from it: untreated, such as soils and rocks, and processed as hydraulic and bituminous binders; consequently, a geotechnical framework is useful ...
