Pavement distress data in a single section usually presents long-tailed distribution, with potholes, sealed cracks, and other distresses normally located at the tail. This distribution will seriously affect performance robustness of big data-driven deep learning detection models. Conventional augmentation algorithms only expand amount by image transformation fail to enlarge diversity. Due such ...

Stripping is one of the major distresses within asphalt concrete pavements caused due to penetration water interface asphalt-aggregate matrix. In this work, grade cement (40-50) was mixed with variable percentages three types additives (fly ash, fumed silica, and phosphogypsum) obtained an modified resist effect stripping phenomena .The specimens have been tested for physical properties accordi...

• Road-pavement surface monitoring, distresses classification and measurement. Comparison of crowdsensing-based monitoring technologies visual inspections. Efficiency effectiveness road-pavement surveys for optimal maintenance. Pavement-surface characteristics should be considered during road maintenance safe comfortable driving. A detailed up-to-date report network conditions is required to op...

The most severe distresses in asphalt pavement are rutting, fatigue, and low-temperature cracking; therefore, to solve these problems, it is essential modify binders concrete mixtures. In this study, a comparison between using styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) crumb rubber (CR) as modifiers for overcome distress issues was conducted. Base SBS or CR-modified were subjected all conventional Superpa...

Biobinders (binders manufactured from biomass) are becoming popular in asphalt engineering due to growing environmental concerns of greenhouse gas emissions the use fossil fuels and depleting petroleum bitumen reserves. Waste biomass products sources particular interest their widespread availability impact on sustainability, however, they generally need be thermochemically treated before being ...
