This paper documents the effectiveness of a recycle-in-place (Remixer) process on US175, using results from GPR, FWD, PSPA, condition surveys (crack mapping) and laboratory testing. FWD and PSPA results indicate that the remixed sections are stiff, and the deflection values are in the range typically observed in the Interstate Highway system. This recycling process removes 38mm of AC and adds 2...

PURPOSE To prospectively study the incidence, mechanism, distribution of injury, and outcome of patients admitted to Al-Ain Hospital with camel bite injuries in Al-Ain, United Arab Emirates. METHODOLOGY All patients admitted to Al-Ain Hospital with a camel bite were prospectively studied during the period of October 2001-October 2007. Patient's demography, mechanism of injury including behavi...

The AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) pavement performance models and the associated AASHTOWare® Pavement ME Design software are nationally calibrated using design inputs and distress data largely from the national Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP). Further calibration and validation studies are necessary for local highway agencies’ implementation by taking into acc...

Recently, bitumen pavements have been widely used for road paving. Various scholars modified in paving to improve pavement performance, thus increasing the service life. In this study, Sasobit, XT-W3, and Evotherm were selected as warm-mix various investigations including conventional Brookfield rotational viscosity, dynamic shear rheology, Marshall stability, high-temperature rutting, water lo...

during rutting period, the male one humped camels, extrudes a balloon like organ from one side of the mouth. twelve heads of the slaughtered one humped camels from different sexes were examined. air was blown through natural openings: mouth, nares, esophagus and trachea. cross and longitudinal sections were made in frozen and formalin fixed specimens. it was concluded that soft palate in one hu...
