In order to study the fatigue crack propagation characteristics of asphalt mixture, a model of fatigue crack dynamically propagating was established based on the Paris law modified with fracture energy release rate. Four ...

Speed and safety management of highways plays a prominent role in ensuring road user safety, especially of the vulnerable categories. Pavement Friction Management (PFM) is being considered as the best possible option in ...

Alkali activation has gained importance in place of cement treatment in construction due to reduced CO2 emissions. The precursors that are rich in silica, alumina, and calcium can be used for soil stabilization with a ...

Dense Graded Aggregate Base (DGAB) construction is a major contributing component in flexible pavement construction in terms of pavement structural capacity and the project cost. However, the production processes related to ...

Quantification of present pavement condition in terms of an index term i.e., Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is one of the most important and primary steps while taking decision related to Maintenance and Rehabilitation ...

Cracking is one of the important distresses that can be used to trigger pavement maintenance treatments. Traditional crack rating is commonly based on the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) approach involving time-consuming ...

Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Steel Slag is a by-product generated from the steel-making process which is being used as aggregates for the road construction wearing course.Replacement of naturally occurring aggregates with ...

Agriculture waste have many advantages such as high specific strength and modulus, low density, renewable nature, biodegradability and absence of health hazards. This advantage is good for construction industry because ...

Over ninety percent of the total road network in India, including the airfield pavements, are flexible pavements with black-top surfaces. The construction of wearing and binder courses of a flexible pavement require high ...

It is well-known that the inclusion of composite geogrids (CGGs) into the pavement structure assists to maximise the benefits of geosynthetic-reinforcement in flexible pavements. However, the use of CGGs in practice is ...
