Implementation of a Pavement Management System for Local Counties
(2016)
Throughout the course of time and due to budget constrains agencies have changed their emphasis from construction of new roads to maintenance and rehabilitation of existing pavement structures. To achieve so, proper ...
Modeling of Flexible and Rigid Pavements under Aircraft Loading
(2018)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is currently using linear elastic theory (LET) and finite element (FE) modeling for calculating pavement responses in its FAARFIELD software for flexible and rigid pavements, ...
Environmental Conditions and Binder Aging Characteristics in the Intermountain Region of the United States
(2009)
Thermal cracking is a major form of distress in much of the northern United States. Moreover, field performance data indicate that HMA mixtures in the intermountain region of the U.S. experience severe thermal cracking ...
Oxidative Aging of Binders with High Recycled Asphalt Materials
(2017)
The objectives of this research effort focused on the oxidative aging of binders with high recycled asphalt materials. A coordinated program of forced-draft oven aging experiments was conducted on eleven sorts of binder ...
Performance Characterization of Recycled Asphalt Pavements with Warm Mix Asphalt Technologies
(2016)
This study evaluated the laboratory performance characteristics of Recycled Asphalt Pavements (RAP) with Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) Technologies. RAP was introduced in mixtures at three levels: 0, 15 and 35% of RAP contents. ...
Characterization of Unbound Materials for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG)
(2017)
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) adopted the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) as an interim pavement design standard in 2008. The Nevada Department of ...
Evaluating Superheavy Load Movement on Flexible Pavements: Identifying Load Nucleus and Elements of Bearing Capacity Investigation
(2016)
Nowadays, industrial facilities are undergoing massive upgrades and innovations, which require moving Superheavy Loads (SHLs), these are loads with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) and axle weight exceeding the overweight legal ...
Evaluation of Nevada’s Warm Mix Asphalt Mixtures with Recycled Asphalt Pavements
(2016)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate warm mix asphalts (WMA) with recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) from Nevada. For this study, four different warm mix technologies and four different aggregate sources with two different ...
Calibration of the AASHTO MEPDG for Flexible Pavements to Fit Nevada's Conditions
(2015)
The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) consists of transferring pavement mechanical responses such as stresses and strains into predicted distresses. The nationally calibrated models for rutting, bottom-Up ...
Design of Cold-In-Place Recycling using Superpave gyratory compactor
(2015)
The main objective of this study is to validate the proposed performance based seven step mix design procedure for Cold-In-Place Recycling using RAP from different sources and to evaluate the mechanical characteristics and ...
