An entire roadway system represents a crucial element in the sustainable urban transportation planning process. Pavement surfaces are at continual risk of accumulating serious deteriorations and defects throughout their service life due to traffic loading environmental impact. Since networks growing rapidly, relying on visual pavement inspection is not always feasible. Therefore, this paper pro...

Routine and consistent data collection is required to address contemporary transportation issues. The cost of increases significantly when sophisticated machines are used collect data. Due this constraint, State Departments Transportation struggle for analyzing resolving problems in a timely manner. Recent advancements sensors integrated into smartphones have resulted more affordable method col...

Most bituminous adhesives or binders that are used for pavement materials are derived mainly from fossil fuels. Due to the availability of large quantities of biorenewable sources such as triglyceride oils, proteins, starch, and other carbohydrates from different organic sources, there are virtuous technical and economic prospects in utilizing them to produce bio-binders. Recently, through the ...

Objective: To investigate relationship between emotional intelligence and health locus of control in married women with breast cancer disease. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: The data was collected from Nuclear Oncology & Radiology Institute (NORI Hospital) Islamabad (n=210) and from Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Rawalpindi (n=101). Data collection was compl...

Background: Researchers have mentioned that safety climate may predict occupational accidents and psychological distresses in the workplace. The present study examined degree of safety climate related to occupational stress and its dimensions among workers’ Isfahan Steel Company. Methods: A self-administered anonymous was distributed to 189 workers. The survey included demographic factors, oc...

In general, the physical and rheological properties of asphalt binder are directly affecting resistance mix to permanent deformation (rutting), water damage, thermal cracking. The degradation in these leads severe distresses that appear pavement and, consequently, make repair maintenance very expensive. Since modified-asphalt cement may help minimize such aforementioned distresses, this researc...

Pavement condition assessment is a critical step in road pavement management. In contrast to the automatic and objective methods used for rural roads, most commonly method urban areas development of visual surveys usually filled out by technicians, which leads subjective assessment. Whereas previous studies on identification distresses focused crack detection, this research aims not only cover ...

The present study explores the structural pavement design techniques related to distresses in terms of rutting, cracking and International Roughness Index (IRI) based on materials properties, roadbed characteristics, climate traffic loads for highway network Saudi Arabia (KSA). was focused selected site conditions at four regions KSA: Central (Riyadh); Eastern (Al-Ahsa); Western (Jeddah) Northe...
