Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contributes substantially to the volume of recycled waste in world. This research aims evaluate mechanistic performance concrete with 100% RAP (RAP-AC) modified natural hemp fiber (HF) reinforcement. The effects HF lengths and contents on were investigated. static tests included Marshall stability, strength index (SI), indirect tensile (ITS), whilst cyclic resil...

Pavement surface texture and its skid resistance are two key safety parameters of highways, which both are influenced by pavement characteristics. This research is done on a newly constructed asphalt pavement (Qom-Garmsar freeway) in Iran. The goal is investigating the relation between skid resistance and pavement texture in order to asphalt content changes in Hot Mix Asphalt. Mean Texture Dept...

The central purpose of the research is to support the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Quieter Pavement Research Program, which has as its goals and objectives the identification of quieter, safer asphalt pavement surfaces. The research conforms with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance provided to state departments of transportation (DOTs) that conduct tire/pavement...

Reinforcement using an interlayer system has been demonstrated for more than four decades as a multi-purpose solution to improve performance, to extend service life and thus to reduce maintenance costs of road pavements. Among a large number of existing interlayer systems, glass fiber grids have shown effective use in pavement reinforcement with a hot mix asphalt overlay. Recently they have rec...
