Nanomechanical characterization of asphalt
In this study, asphalt binder and asphalt concrete (AC) materials are characterized using laboratory nanoindentation testing and mechanical models. Traditionally, laboratory nanoindentation test data is analyzed using the Oliver-Pharr method to determine elastic modulus and hardness of materials. …

Evaluation and modeling of repeated load test data of asphalt concrete for mechanistic-empirical flexible pavement design
… as a factor in predicting rutting performance of asphalt concrete. The rutting model is empirical and the rutting profiles obtained from the model are largely based on the adjustment of calibration constants not the DM. Various DM values would be capable of producing similar rutting profiles based …

Verification of asphalt concrete performance prediction using level 2 and level 3 inputs of mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide for flexible pavements of the state of New Jersey
<p>The purpose of this thesis is to present the results of the verification study of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-EPDG) using level 2 and level 3 inputs. In addition, the challenges of verification of the predicted performance with the help of field-measured data of existing …

Alternatives to PCI and MicroPAVER based maintenance solutions for airport pavements
… patching is the most cost effective and Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay shows the highest functional benefit. The management goal of Reach PCI 80' has shown the highest functional benefit than other strategies and different single maintenance treatments.'

Evaluation of selected airport pavements in New Mexico
… field coring are performed to collect samples of asphalt cores, base aggregate, and soils. These samples are then transferred to the Pavement Laboratory at the University of New Mexico for testing. Soil tests include index properties, moisture, and classification tests. Using these laboratory test …
