Potential Modeling Of Pavement Deterioration Rate Due To Cracking

Automatic inspection of pavement cracking distress

15. Supplementary Notes Project performed in cooperation with the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. Project Title: Implementation of Automated Pavement Distress Rating Systems 16. Abstract This paper presents the image-processing algorithm customized for high-speed, real-time inspection of pavement cracking. In the algorithm, a pavement image is divided ...

Pavement Cracking Detection Using an Anisotropy Measurement

Automatic pavement cracking detection is a part of road maintenance and rehabilitation strategies. Cracks detection is one of the main features used by road authorities to manage efficiently its networks. Different systems are available to perform road analysis. We give a short description of some of them. Apparatus which was used to provide our images is described with more details. Road surfa...

Image Analysis for Automated Pavement Cracking Evaluation

Image processing technology plays an important part in the analysis and evaluation of pavement surface cracking. The pattern recognition method for crack geometry proposed in this paper makes it possible to extract data necessary for evaluating the extent and severity of cracking quantitatively. In this newly developed method, low-resolution images are used first to extract crack regions, and t...

PCC Pavement Deterioration and Expansive Mineral Growth

In order to evaluate the importance of newly-formed minerals in the premature deterioration of Iowa highway concrete, a two-phase study was undertaken. In the first phase, we performed petrographic and SEM/EDAX analyses to determine chemical and mineralogical changes in the aggregate and cement paste of samples taken from Iowa concrete highways that showed premature deterioration. In the second...
