Experimental investigation of the use of pervious concrete on high volume roads

Construction and Building Materials, 2021
Although pervious concrete (PC) has many positive contributions such as reducing noise pollution, recharge groundwater, reducing urban heat island effect, it has not been used at the desired level due to its limited strength properties and lack of ...

Condition Based Maintenance Planning of low volume rural roads using GIS

, 2021
The functional rural road network has a significant effect on the socio-economic growth of a nation. Newly constructed road pavements deteriorate with time, their regular maintenance will not only keep them functional but also increase their service life.

Augmented Concrete Crack Segmentation: Learning Complete Representation to Defend Background Interference in Concrete Pavements

IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement
Roads are the foundation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), yet cracks are widely present in roads and seriously affect system performance. Cracks not repaired promptly can develop into severe road defects, significantly increasing the risk of ...

Using reflective pavements to mitigate urban heat island in warm climates - Results from a large scale urban mitigation project

Urban Climate, 2017
UHI is the most studied phenomenon of climate change and refers to the increased ambient temperature of cities compared to rural settings. Implementation of reflective materials to urban structures, such as roads and pavements, reduces the surface and ...
