In civil engineering, pavement, which is a mixture of aggregate and bitumen, the layer most affected by traffic loads. Thus, problems, such as cracking, rutting, fatigue, aging, moisture damage occur in asphalt pavement throughout its service life. Such problems are generally caused increase number heavily loaded vehicles, design construction errors, climate environmental conditions. Scientists...

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...

creep compliance is one of the fundamental tests of mechanistic- empirical flexible pavement design procedure in the aashto 2002 design guide. in this research, a new artificial neural network model for estimating the hma creep compliance with the generalization ability of r=0.949 has been developed successfully using feed forward multi layer perceptron artificial neural networks (anns) with le...
