Aggregates constitute major part of the pavement structure. The engineering properties of the aggregates, as well as its shape (i.e. form and angularity) and texture, substantially affect the overall performance of the pavement (Kuo and Freeman 1998, Maerz 2004). A number of researchers reported that form and surface texture of aggregates have significant effect on the mechanical property of th...

This study investigates the field performance of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) road overlays containing various amounts RAP and binder. Rutting, International Roughness Index (IRI), transverse, longitudinal alligator cracking are key parameters considered here. Our research is based on a Specific Pavement Study-10 experiment (SPS-10) conducted in nine states North America (eight USA one Canada) that i...

The Hamburg wheel tracking test (HWTT) is a widely used testing procedure designed to accelerate and simulate the rutting phenomena in laboratory. Rut depth, as one of outputs HWTT, dependent on number parameters related mix design conditions. This study introduces new model for predicting depth asphalt mixtures using deep learning technique - convolution neural network (CNN). A database contai...

The performance of asphalt binders at high and low temperatures has an important role on the rutting and crackingresistance of asphalt pavements. Crumb Rubber Modified (CRM) is one of the asphalt modifiers that improves asphaltphysical and mechanical properties and helps reducing environmental pollution. In this research, three unmodifiedand six CRM modified binders were teste...
