Local calibration of the MEPDG prediction models for pavement rehabilitation and evaluation of top-down cracking for Oregon Roadways
… recently introduced AASHTO Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for new pavement sections. However, the vast majority of pavement work conducted by ODOT involves rehabilitation of existing pavements. Hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlays are the preferred rehabilitation treatment for both …

Alternative methods for pavement network rehabilitation management
… loadings. Meanwhile, the required funds for rehabilitation far exceed the available budget. Illinois DOT administrators and planners are faced with many difficult questions about the consequences of adopting different pavement rehabilitation budgets and policies. To answer these questions, …

Life cycle assessment of concrete pavements : impacts and opportunities
The concrete pavement network in the United States plays a crucial role in the economy by enabling the transport of people and goods, but it also leads to resource consumption and environmental impacts. This thesis is fundamentally motivated to reduce the impact that concrete pavements have on …

Development of a Cost Oriented Grinding Strategy and Prediction of Post Grind Roughness using Improved Grinder Models
Irregularities in pavement profiles that exceed standard thresholds are usually rectified using a Diamond Grinding Process. Diamond Grinding is a method of Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation that involves the use of grinding wheels mounted on a machine that scraps off the top surface of the pavement …

Towards fracture mechanics-based design of unbonded concrete overlay pavements.
… overlay that is separated from an existing PCC pavement by an asphalt concrete (AC) interlayer. It is an increasingly popular method for highway pavement rehabilitation. However, current UBCO design procedures are based on empirical equations or highly simplified mechanistic models. To overcome …

Laboratory investigation of diamond grinding and grooving textures on concrete pavement surfaces
… hard aggregates is prompting a surface texture rehabilitation every 2 to 3 years which is neither economical nor sustainable. In this context, the texture generated during diamond grinding operation is believed to be enough to provide the required skid resistance. Diamond grinding is a part of a …

Network-level maintenance decisions for flexible pavement using a soft computing-based framework
An effective pavement management system (PMS) is one that is guided by a software program that ensures that all pavement sections are maintained at adequately high serviceability levels and structural conditions with a low budget and resource usage, without causing any significant negative effect …

Evaluation of selected airport pavements in New Mexico
Rehabilitation of poor conditioned airport pavements can be very expensive compared to the rehabilitation of relatively good conditioned airport pavements. Determining the conditions of airport pavements is a first step to determine appropriate rehabilitation method and timing. In this study, the …
