Performance evaluation of unconventional aggregates from primary and recycled sources for construction platform and low volume road applications
… viable for the construction of unsurfaced and low volume roads. Although large-size unconventional virgin aggregates (also referred to as ‘rock cap’, ‘primary crusher run’ and ‘macadam stone base’) have been successfully used by several transportation agencies previously, performances of …

Uncertainty quantification for pavement life-cycle stages
… 2% fuel consumption, respectively, at high and low speeds (105 and 56 km/h) for passenger cars. In addition to the RSI model, the study proposes a practical approach to assess the vehicle excess fuel consumption (EFC) due to pavement deflection. The developed relationship relies on the …

Foundation Design of Low Volume Roads: Evaluation and Performance
<p>A majority of roads in the state of SD are low volume roads (LVRs). The SDDOT has developed simplified methods for LVR pavement thickness selection. These guides allow users to obtain recommended asphalt surfacing and base course layer thickness based on the subgrade support and the average …
