Abstract Asphalt pavement structures in cold regions, which suffer from complicated environmental and geological conditions, such as large temperature difference frozen soil, are prone to cracking, rutting, moisture damage. However, most of the existing assessment methodologies focus on vulnerability overall road traffic network, ignoring impact regional differences pavements’ structural perfor...

In this study, the photometry of a wide range conventional and innovative pavements used in urban interurban areas was characterised with laboratory gonioreflectometer, both new condition after 30 months natural ageing. An extreme diversity behaviour respect to light reflection has been demonstrated, over time between pavements. Various lighting studies have carried out for cases renewal instal...

Assessing the life cycle economic and environmental impacts of road pavements is critical for achieving long-term sustainability in transport systems. Life cost analysis (LCCA) assessment (LCA) methods have been widely applied to pavements, however, there still a need identify which approaches boost both benefits, simultaneously. This study develops an integrated LCCA-LCA method, identifies mer...

Society is dependent on transport systems, not only to meet its daily needs with short journeys but also their arising longer distances. The ability connect remote regions and the trip duration makes aircraft a mode of for distant travel. However, it impacts greenhouse gas production. survey new ways reduce emissions emerges from contribution energy harvesting systems. Energy technology has bee...

The Hadamard Conjecture has been studied since the pioneering paper of J. J. Sylvester, “Thoughts on inverse orthogonal matrices, simultaneous sign successions, tessellated pavements in two or more colours, with applications to Newtons rule, ornamental tile work and the theory of numbers, Phil Mag, (1867) 461–475 first appeared. We review the importance of primes on those occasions that the con...

Generally, joint performance in concrete pavements is evaluated laboratory by applying dynamic loads that require large scale experimental setups. In order to propose a simplified test, comprehensive literary review of the fundamentals load transfer at joints made, and efficiency obtained via reduced test compared under static conditions. The results confirm feasibility analysis for evaluating ...
