Adding basalt fiber (BF) can effectively enhance the performance of asphalt mixtures and improve service quality pavement. However, effect BF on high-temperature different types systematic test analysis are still not well known. To address this issue, three typical AC-13, SMA-13, SUP-13 were selected. Wheel tracking test, uniaxial penetration dynamic modulus creep conducted. In addition, releva...

The rutting behavior of the red goral (Naemorhedus cranbrooki) was studied at the Breeding Center of Shanghai Zoo from September 16–November 21, 2004. Twenty-three qualitatively distinct behavior patterns was observed. Males showed a more extensive repertoire (18 patterns, 15 carried out only by males) than did females (10 patterns, 6 carried out only by females). Smelling and licking behavior ...

The interlocking and packing of aggregate particles play a key role in achieving high level linear viscoelastic properties rutting resistance asphalt mix for sustainable pavements. In this study, the quantitative effect fractured (FAPs) on loading (i.e., 500 kPa normal stress), along with resilience mixes, was evaluated. Linear nonlinear stress behaviors aggregates (from direct shear test) mixe...

Nanomaterials exhibit novel properties and profound attributes as an additive in asphalt binder modification. However, the application of nano-silica binders mixture modification is still limited, further research required. Along these lines, this work, with a content from 2% to 8% increment was utilized modifying bitumen type C320, which considered most conventional used Western Australia road...

Many agencies use the AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures to design their pavement systems. The limitation inherent in this method is the empirical nature of the decision process, which was derived from a road test conducted almost 45 years ago in Ottawa, Illinois. The newly released Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), based on NCHRP Study 1-37A, has adopted a mechan...
