Concrete Block Pavement for Low Volume Roads

Concrete block pavement (CBP) is a durable pavement for carrying light as well as heavy loads, and it is being used widely for construction of city streets, parking places, gas stations, container stacking yards, residential areas and low volume roads. This paper presents the findings of a laboratory investigation on structural behaviour of CBP. Plate load and Accelerated Pavement tests were ca...

Advances in retroreflective technologies for road signage, vehicle visibility and pavement markings, delivering safer roads for all

This paper provides an overview of recent advancements in road signage, vehicle visibility and pavement marking technology developed by 3M and how they can be applied to improve safer navigation on the road, especially for large vehicles and compromised situations.

Role of Tire-Pavement Interaction in Overall Noise

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Office of Materials and Road Research advances the state of the practice of pavement design, construction, and maintenance by conducting and participating in pavement and materials research projects, implementation of research results, and supporting practitioners. One of the many research strategies is the study of tire-pavement noise using M...
