The purpose of this study is to build the binary logit model of an airport pavement that could monitor the pavement condition in near real time using microwave remote sensing satellite, then the relationship between the international roughness index (IRI) of an airport and backscattering values from PALSAR images of the ALOS satellite was determined. Total 390 data were used in analysis. This m...

Introduction: We know there are volatiles sequestered at the poles of the Moon [1,2]. While we have evidence of water ice and a number of other compounds based on remote sensing, the detailed distribution, and physical and chemical form are largely unknown. Additional orbital studies of lunar polar volatiles may yield further insights, but the most important next step is to use landed assets to...

Highways and in particular their pavements are the fundamental components of the road network. They require continuous maintenance since they deteriorate due to changing traffic and environmental conditions. Monitoring methods and efficient pavement management systems are needed for optimizing maintenance operations. Pavement performance prediction models are useful tools for determining the op...

Spending costs in construction of road pavements has turned this subject into one of the significant points in transportation infrastructure of countries. Concrete slabs consider as a paving method with ability of reducing the rehabilitation needs. Therefore, to manage costs and optimize the thickness of concrete pavements, recognizing the amount of determinative factors’ influence will be requ...

Plastids are multifunctional, pleomorphic organelles of purported endosymbiotic origin that in plants and green algae display a characteristic double membrane envelope (Wise, 2007). All plastids originate fromcolorless proplastids, and a simple pigmentation-based classification distinguishes chloroplasts from other plastids by the presence of chlorophyll, chromoplasts by the predominance of oth...

Reduction in vehicle fuel consumption is one of the main benefits considered in technical and economic evaluations of road improvements considering its significance. Surface roughness, texture, and structural response are the main pavement characteristics influencing rolling resistance. This project investigates the increase in vehicle energy consumption caused by the structural response of a c...

A pavement structure consists of several layers for the primary purpose of transmitting and distributing traffic loads to the subgrade. Rutting is one form of pavement distresses that may influence the performance of road pavements. Geosynthetics is one type of synthetic materials utilized for improving the performance of pavements against rutting. Various studies have been conducted on using d...

The backcalculation of pavement layer moduli from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) measured surface deflections is a challenging task. It can also be formulated as a global optimization problem with the objective of finding the optimal pavement layer moduli values that minimize the error between measured and computed surface deflections. Over the years, several backcalculation methodologies h...

This paper presents a model through which the cost associated with pavement warranty in performance based maintenance contracts are analyzed and quantified. Performance based maintenance contracts are eventually getting popular among the Highway agencies.These are long term pavement warranty contracts where the contractors are responsible for maintaining the pavement condition upto a certain sp...

Pavement-watering has been studied since the 1990’s and is currently considered a promising tool for urban heat island reduction and climate change adaptation. However, possible future water resource availability problems require that water consumption be optimized. Although pavement heat flux can be studied to improve pavement-watering methods (frequency and water consumption), these measureme...
