In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. These solicitations affect the bituminous layers that can quickly attain their permanent deformation limit resistance. This phenomenon can lead ...
The asphalt rubber blend properties are strongly related to its base components properties. The base bitumen composition is considered as a key factor influencing the final rheological properties of asphalt rubber binder. This paper describes results from ...
This communication concerns analysis of the behavior of flexible pavements using an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relation for the asphalt concrete. The numerical model takes into consideration the influence of the temperature on the behavior of the as ...
A new concept of road runoff management, based on diffuse infiltration over the shoulder, was tested in a real-scale experimentation site located near Grandson, Switzerland. This new concept consists in diffusely infiltrating the road runoff in the infiltr ...
This Phase 2 Report demostrates that the technology available for long life semi-rigid pavements is not as developed as that for fully-flexible pavement types. Whereas the concept of long-life fully-flexible pavements has been adopted in some European pave ...
This special issue contains a selection of invited, full-length, peer-reviewed manuscripts from participants of the international workshop “Water in Pavements WIP’05”, held in Madrid, Spain on 27th October 2005. The presented papers give a complete picture ...
Pavement rutting not only decreases the road service life but also creates a danger for the security of road users. In recent years, pavement rutting rate has increased significantly due to constant traffic intensity increment. It is well known that the in ...
“Pavement conditions from intelligent pavements and intelligent vehicles”, aims to improve the management of road network maintenance by life health monitoring through smart methods able to predict the deterioration process and actual condition in unobtrus ...
The highway traffic size and loads have been continuously increasing all over Europe. At the same time, the expectations of users have been growing. They need more safe, durable and comfortable highway surfaces which make their trips low-cost and do not ac ...
“Pavement conditions from intelligent pavements and intelligent vehicles”, aims to improve the management of road network maintenance through smart methods able to predict the deterioration process and actual condition in unobtrusive ways and to make this ...
