Pavement structures cover vast areas of urban cities and non-urban roads play a key role in daily commuting functionality economic development; therefore, they must be conserved against any distress. The rutting problem, being major distress to the pavement structure, solved dealt with order preserve its value. One way solving this dilemma is by using geo-grids within structure. A geo-grid synt...

In developing countries, large sums of money are spent annually to enhance and maintain road networks as allocated by authorities. The need users in most countries all over the world is have safe, economic, smooth roads despite pressure on authorities further reduce expenditure. Money allocation for infrastructure among many priorities competing government funds, thus causing pressure. objectiv...

Finite element method in pavement analysis is a type of mechanistic analysis that has widely been used by road and transportation engineers these days. This method is used with related programs such as ABAQUS/CAE which is one of the powerful software on this task. Modeling in this software has been developed from 2D static models to 3D dynamic models which are closer to reality due to the more ...

Ever-increasing traffic loads, in addition to hot climates, have always been a challenge for both road pavement authorities and engineers. Technically, asphalt binder concrete modifiers that generally increase the viscosity provide higher resistance permanent deformation optimal choice. In this paper, layers of motorway constructed 2015 were studied. pavement, plastomeric polymeric compound syn...

An entire roadway system represents a crucial element in the sustainable urban transportation planning process. Pavement surfaces are at continual risk of accumulating serious deteriorations and defects throughout their service life due to traffic loading environmental impact. Since networks growing rapidly, relying on visual pavement inspection is not always feasible. Therefore, this paper pro...

The concept of rational pavement design for design of bituminous pavement was conceived during the 1960s (Dorman 1962, Monismith et al. 1961). Its upgraded version is known as Mechanistic-Empirical (M-E) pavement design, and is at present popularly being used for design of bituminous pavements in various countries. A number of pavement design guidelines (Austroads 2004, French 1997, IRC:37 2001...
