Surface dressings are a sustainable maintenance alternative for pavements with surface distresses, due to the low amount of resources involved. This paper aims analyze viability using twelve different dressing solutions, including three binders (conventional and modified emulsions, soft 160/220 bitumen) covering diluted emulsion, treatment Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. Several test ...

This research aims to identify and interpret the main traffic characteristics affecting pavement condition index (PCI) of asphalt within parking areas. The study also examines effect severity type distress on decisions. Previous literature impact environment deterioration. paper will focus shape operations a area. methodology includes applying multilevel mixed regression model reveal hidden hie...

Asphalt modification/reinforcement has received considerable attention as viable solutions to enhance flexible pavement performance. This is mainly prompted by the unsatisfactory performance of traditional road materials exposed to dramatic increases and changes in traffic patterns. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue behaviour of nano reinforced Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures. Fatigue...

Some studies have found that extinction leaves response structures unaltered; others have found that response variability is increased. Responding by Long-Evans rats was extinguished after 3 schedules. In one, reinforcement depended on repetitions of a particular response sequence across 3 operanda. In another, sequences were reinforced only if they varied. In the third, reinforcement was yoked...

In Part 1 of the experiment, rats responded under a variable-interval (VI) 30-s schedule and a VI 120-s schedule, with each in effect for a block of consecutive sessions. That is, the two VI schedules were presented in successive conditions. In Part 2 the VI schedules alternated each day, and in Part 3 the schedules alternated within the session as a multiple schedule. For half of the rats in P...
