Integrated predictive artificial neural network fatigue endurance limit model for asphalt concrete pavements

Development of An Artificial Neural Network Model for Asphalt Pavement Deterioration Using LTPP Data

Deterioration models are important and essential part of any Pavement Management System (PMS). These models are used to predict future pavement situation based on existence condition, parameters causing deterioration and implications of various maintenance and rehabilitation policies on pavement. The majority of these models are based on roughness which is one of the most important indices in p...

Concrete Overlays as a Rehabilitation Option for Distressed Asphalt Pavements

Modeling of Concrete Airfield Pavements Using Artificial Neural Networks

Airfield pavement design is a decision making process which uses pertinent information available to make required judgments. One of the tools used in the design process is analysis of the pavement system. To be of value, it may be necessary to make many analyses of several pavement systems with different gear configurations and different loading conditions. With the more sophisticated models, s...

Artificial Neural Network Model for Predicting Insurance Insolvency

In addition to its primary role of providing financial protection for other industries the insurance industry also serves as a medium for fund mobilization. In spite of the harsh economic environment in Nigeria, the insurance industry has been crucial to the consummation of business plans and wealth creation.  However, the continued downturn experienced by many countries, in the last decade, se...

Artificial neural network approach for overlay design of flexible pavements

Pavements are constructed to deteriorate because of many factors such as traffic loading, material related factors, climate, and other environmental factors. In order to preserve these investments, a maintenance program should be carried out at right time and right places. One of the most important maintenance activities is asphalt overlays. Designing an overlay is more challenging since it res...
