At least one person per day attending the A&E department at King's College Hospital has sustained injuries from uneven pavements. The injuries have a significant morbidity as well as mortality of 1%. A&E records can be a source of useful information to aid local authorities in identifying areas associated with these injuries in order to reduce their frequency and subsequent claims for compensat...

The Asphalt Pavement Technology Program is an integrated, national effort to improve the long‐term performance and cost effectiveness of asphalt pavements. Managed by the Federal Highway Administration through partnerships with State highway agencies, Industry and academia the program’s primary goals are to reduce congestion, improve safety, and foster technology innovation. The program was est...

With growing urban populations, methods of reducing the heat island effect have become increasingly important. Cool pavements altering storage materials used in can lead to lower surface temperatures and reduce thermal radiation emitted atmosphere. pavement technologies utilize various strategies temperature new existing pavements, including increased albedo, evaporative cooling, reduced conduc...

Of the $150 million USD pledged for the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP), approximately one-third ($50 million USD) is designated for Asphalt Binder Research. The SHRP program is a fiveyear, highly focused, product-oriented research effort. The goal of the asphalt portion of the program is to issue a new binder and mixture specification that will help federal, state and local regulator...

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is used for slabs on grade such as pavements, industrial floors, airport runways, since it exhibits excellent isotropic mechanical properties. When mixing the fibers with the fresh concrete, care is taken to obtain a uniform distribution and a random orientation of the fibers. The strength of this concrete primarily depends on the fiber content, hence it i...

This paper deals with the issues of air entraining and water/cement ratio in Portland Cement Concrete as related to its freeze thaw durability. Practices have been in place for nearly thirty years which demanded high early strengths in Portland Cement Concrete pavements. This paper looks at those practices, investigates the correlation between water/cement ratio and air entraining, and presents...
