Design, Placement, and Laboratory Evaluation of Rejuvenated Cold Recycled Pavement Mixtures
Turochy, Elizabeth (2023-04-26)
Cold recycled (CR) pavements, the combination of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and a recycling agent (foamed or emulsified asphalt binder) at ambient temperatures, can provide a sustainable method to rehabilitate, ...
Developing a Practical Tool for Integrating Green Infrastructure into Cost-Effective Stormwater Management Plans
Ellis, Jackson (2020-07-14)
Urban stormwater management today aims to manage both the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. Best management practices (BMPs) such as detention basins have long been used to address runoff quantity objectives, and ...
Developing a Tool for the Design and Cost Optimization of Permeable Pavements in the Planning Stage of Stormwater Management
Biessan, Don Guy Virgile Vianney (2021-07-12)
Stormwater runoff, when not managed properly, can represent a threat to the environment especially in today’s urban setting. For small pavement applications such as parking lots, conventional pavements and best management ...
Development and Demonstration of a Flexible Performance-based Resilience Evaluation Program (PREP) Framework to Support Transportation Planning and Decision-Making
Cordero, Fernando (2023-05-04)
The past decade has seen an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events around the globe. The changes in weather and climate patterns can be linked to the increasing amount of greenhouse gases, GHGs, ...
Evaluation of Laboratory and Field Produced Cold Recycled and Full Depth Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Materials
Allain, David (2021-05-18)
Cold recycling (CR) and full depth reclamation (FDR) are sustainable processes of
recycling existing pavement materials to construct stronger stabilized base layers. The recycled
asphalt pavement’s materials vary in ...
Field Assessment of Cold Recycling Technologies Used for Pavement Preservation
Martinez Rodriguez, Danny Steve (2020-07-14)
Cold recycling of asphalt concrete pavements is a widely practiced technique used to prolong pavement life as a low-cost preservation method. Research in recycled materials has become necessary to further evaluate the ...
FULL-SCALE MECHANISTIC AND PERFORMANCE INVESTIGATION OF A FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT WITH A STABILIZED FOUNDATION
Nakhaei, Mostafa (2021-06-21)
The current study aimed to develop a mechanistic understanding of the behavior of flexible pavements with stabilized foundations through full-scale testing, instrumentation, and simulation. In pursuit of this objective, a ...
Laboratory and Field Characterization of Additive-Modified Asphalt Concrete Mixtures
Kmetz, Matthew (2023-11-27)
There is a need for a more rapid system of evaluation and implementation for new and existing
asphalt additives, especially due to the prohibitive cost of full-scale performance evaluations. To
help to meet this need, ...
Laboratory Evaluation of Heat Exchange Between Superheated Virgin Aggregate and Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Material
Gatiganti, Surendra Chowdari (2021-07-27) ETD File Embargoed
The most common method of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) material processing in the production of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) in the United States is by using cold feed recycling. Superheating the virgin aggregates by hot gas ...
Mixture Sampling and Determination of Asphalt Binder Content for Slurry Surfacing Systems
Earls, Brooke (2022-07-25)
Slurry seals and micro surfacing are two of the main preventative maintenance methods used by state and local agencies. However, there is a lack of methods for quality control/quality assurance for slurry surfacing systems. ...
Prediction of Structural Health of Pavement Preservation Treated Pavements Using Neural Networks
Rahman, Md Towhid Ur (2023-05-17)
Structural testing of pavements is required to ensure their strength, durability, and longer service life. Destructive testing methods are less costly but more time-consuming and pose a safety risk for road users and crew ...
Strength Assessment of Soil Cement Base in Alabama
Scales, Matthew (2020-07-30)
Soil cement is a mixture of soil, portland cement, and water that is compacted and cured to form a strong, durable pavement base. Variances among construction practices and core strength data have led to questions concerning ...
Validation of Laboratory Cracking Tests for Field Top-down Cracking Performance
Chen, Chen (2020-04-20)
Top-down cracking (TDC) has been widely reported as a primary mode of distress in asphalt pavements. Currently, there is no consensus on a practical laboratory cracking test that can reliably predict an asphalt mixture’s ...
