Variability of pavement design parameters has always been a concern to pavement
designers and highway agencies. A robust pavement design should take into account the …

To completely investigate the physical properties of asphalt pavement materials, their
viscoelastic master curves are generated using the least squares Levenberg–Marquardt (L …

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a class of smart materials composed of an
elastomer and micron-sized magnetic particles. Besides the loading amplitude and …

Quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) specifications typically define the asphalt
mixtures by how close the as-built mixture meets the requirements of the as-designed mix. A …

Proper characterization of asphalt concrete mixtures with respect to the changes in dynamic
modulus (DM) with the applied loading frequency and test temperature is a key task for …

Asphalt concrete behavior is heavily dependent on temperature and loading rate. Hence,
the material is typically tested at a range of temperatures and loading frequencies to capture …

In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of an existing rutting performance prediction
model, based on the long-term observation data of the RIOHTrack's full-scale pavement …

Dynamic modulus master curves are usually constructed by using sigmoid functions, but the
coefficients of these functions are not independent of each other. For this reason, it is not …

To develop a mechanistic-empirical pavement design system for Norwegian conditions, this
paper evaluates the influence of the adoption of different models and shifting techniques on …

Louisiana's current specification for asphalt pavements relies on the volumetric properties of
asphalt mixtures for quality control (QC) and quality acceptance (QA). Realising the lack of …
