Pavement deterioration will bring disruption to traffic, and it is hoped that the pavement always on an acceptable condition. If distresses could be predicted correctly when repair maintenance plan was designed, addressed, preventive steps can taken minimize damage occur. This study aims develop a mathematical model predict condition, which represented by using International Roughness Index (IR...

Finite element method in pavement analysis is a type of mechanistic analysis that has widely been used by road and transportation engineers these days. This method is used with related programs such as ABAQUS/CAE which is one of the powerful software on this task. Modeling in this software has been developed from 2D static models to 3D dynamic models which are closer to reality due to the more ...

Rutting of flexible pavement is considered one of the major pavement distresses noted around the world and in Egypt. Many investigators showed at about 55 to 80% of rutting occurred in the surface layer. Rutting of asphalt surface layer may be due to many causes happened during construction phase and service phase. The main objectives of this research are to evaluate the impact of aggregate gra...

In spite of increasing demands for service, many municipal street departments in Iowa have faced budget shortfalls due to revenue limitations. These budget shortfalls do not allow them to maintain an aging street system adequately without careful planning. Thin maintenance surface (TMS) techniques have been developed to extend pavement life by mitigating existing distresses. TMS techniques, suc...

Riyadh City established and implemented a Pavement Maintenance Management System (PMMS) through the General Directorate of operation. The system was created to address difficulties that come with maintaining reserving pavement network. To evaluate conditions, uses visual checks, structural capacity roughness, skid resistance. An Urban Distress Index (UDI) is calculated during assessment process...

Fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC) was tested using limestone, PG 64-22 binder, and 20% reclaimed pavement (RAP). After mixing fibers with different lengths dosages, they were extracted recovered to evaluate their dispersion in the FRAC. The uniaxial fatigue test, IDEAL CT flow number test performed on FRAC fiber contents. balanced mix design (BMD) approach then used analyze results order...

The present era, in particular, the last 3 to 4 decades can be easily named “Plastic Age” and dealing with plastic waste has always been a challenging affair for Urban local bodies. Plastic roads are bituminous or pavement that have blended mix their wearing courses. being sustainable technology becoming very popular nowadays as substitute conventional India other parts of World. Evaluation is ...
