Performance-Based Evaluation of Joint Sealants for Concrete Pavements
… adequately, the pavement preserves its intended performance. In the field, joint sealant undergoes two types of mechanical loading simultaneously. The sealant is experiencing tension or compression as slabs contract (low temperature) or expand (high temperature), respectively. Sealants also …

Advancing strategic focuses through performance-based evaluation – the growth of state dot approaches
… Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), performance-based approaches have substantially grown in importance and use. States are examining their existing processes to ensure increases in transportation system performance over time. Certain states have developed internal processes that …

Performance-based evaluation of unbound aggregates affecting mechanistic response and performance of flexible pavements
… of the subgrade. However, the empirical strength based quality evaluations and current “recipe-based” specifications have little direct consideration of the actual performance of materials used in unbound aggregate layers. Based on a comprehensive set of laboratory repeated load triaxial test …

Analyses and prediction of granular layer rutting trends in airport pavements due to heavy aircraft wheel loading and wander patterns
… created by multiple passes. This method was based on the relationship between the maximum residual MDD readings due to various wander positions. By utilizing the MDD calculated transverse profiles and the periodically measured transverse field surface profiles, a rut prediction model was …
