A Pavement Structural Capacity Index for Use in Network-level Evaluation of Asphalt Pavements
The objective of this research was to develop a structural index for use in network-level pavement evaluation, which facilitates the inclusion of the pavements structural condition in many pavement management applications. The primary goal of network-level pavement management is to maintain an …

A knowledge base for rehabilitation of airfield concrete pavements
Airfield pavement knowledge captured in this research showed that knowledge-based techniques can be used to quickly select and design rehabilitation alternatives for a runway, taxiway or an apron. The AIRfield PAvement Consultant System (AIRPACS) uses the knowledge of planners, constructors, …

Laboratory characterization and field performance of hot in-place recycled mixtures
Hot in-place recycling (HIR) is one of the pavement preservation techniques. HIR can prove to be an economical as well as environmentally sustainable treatment as it recycles in-place aggregates and binder for the new application by adding small amounts of virgin materials (emulsion or virgin …

Assessing the Mechanical Response of Pavements During and After Flooding
… event and a threat to the load carrying capacity of pavements around the world. In the aftermath of flooding, the pavement structure could be inundated and fully saturated. The significant increase of water within pavement layers may cause weakness and induce damage with traffic loading, …

Verification of Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Deterioration Models Based on Field Evaluation of In-Service Pavements
This thesis focused on using a detailed structural evaluation of seven (three flexible and four composite) high performance in-service pavements designated as high-priority routes to verify the applicability of the Mechanistic Empirical (M-E) models to high performance pavements in the Commonwealth …
