Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction contains the papers presented at the International Conference on Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction (AM3P, Doha, Qatar, 16- 18 April 2018). There has been an increasing emphasis internationally in the design and construction of sustainable pavement systems. Advances in Materials and Pavement Prediction reflects this development highlighting various approaches to predict pavement performance. The contributions discuss links and interactions between material characterization methods, empirical predictions, mechanistic modeling, and statistically-sound calibration and validation methods. There is also emphasis on comparisons between modeling results and observed performance. The topics of the book include (but are not limited to): * Experimental laboratory material characterization * Field measurements and in situ material characterization * Constitutive modeling and simulation * Innovative pavement materials and interface systems * Non-destructive measurement techniques * Surface characterization, tire-surface interaction, pavement noise * Pavement rehabilitation * Case studies Advances in Materials and Pavement Performance Prediction will be of interest to academics and engineers involved in pavement engineering.
Internationally, much attention is given to causes, prevention,
and rehabilitation of cracking in concrete, flexible, and composite
pavements. The Sixth RILEM
Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields includes the contributions to the 10th International Conference on the Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields (BCRRA 2017, 28-30 June 2017, Athens, Greece). The papers cover aspects related to materials, laboratory testing, design, construction, maintenance and management systems of transport infrastructure, and focus on roads, railways and airfields. Additional aspects that concern new materials and characterization, alternative rehabilitation techniques, technological advances as well as pavement and railway track substructure sustainability are included. The contributions discuss new concepts and innovative solutions, and are concentrated but not limited on the following topics: * Unbound aggregate materials and soil properties * Bound materials characteritics, mechanical properties and testing * Effect of traffic loading * In-situ measurements techniques and monitoring * Structural evaluation * Pavement serviceability condition * Rehabilitation and maintenance issues * Geophysical assessment * Stabilization and reinforcement * Performance modeling * Environmental challenges * Life cycle assessment and sustainability Bearing Capacity of Roads, Railways and Airfields is essential reading for academics and professionals involved or interested in transport infrastructure systems, in particular roads, railways and airfields.
Internationally, much attention is given to mechanistic pavement analysis, design and rehabilitation, their geotechnical aspects and the experimental determination of the necessary material model parameters. This conference on the Advanced Characterisation of Pavement and Soil Engineering (Athens, Greece, 20-22 June 2007) provided a forum for discussion of recent developments and research results. Topics included: - Constitutive Modeling - Experimental Laboratory Material Characterization - Finite Element Simulation - Subgrade Testing, Evaluation and Modeling - Open Graded HMA and Moisture Damage - Field Measurements and In Situ Characterization - Nondestructive Measurement Techniques and Analysis Tools - Accelerated Testing - Hot-Mix Asphalt design - Pavement Management and Design - Measurement and Modeling of Pavement Cracking - Permanent Deformation - Pavement Interface Characteristics - Innovative Pavement Materials and Interface Systems - Surface Characterization & Tire-Surface Interaction - Concrete Pavements - Chemo-Physical Processes - Environmental Issues Related to Pavements - Case Studies - Rail-track Assessment and Rehabilitation - Railroad Ballast Characterization Advanced Characterisation of Pavement and Soil Engineering is particularly of interest to academics, researchers and practitioners involved in computational simulation, experimental characterization and field testing for prediction of short and long term performance of various types of pavement.
Bituminous materials are used to build durable roads that sustain diverse environmental conditions. However, due to their complexity and a global shortage of these materials, their design and technical development present several challenges. Advanced Testing and Characterisation of Bituminous Materials focuses on fundamental and performance testing of binders and asphaltic mixtures. The contributions demonstrate that modern experimental material characterization techniques, sophisticated constitutive modeling, and innovative design provide appropriate tools for pavement performance prediction. The book is of interest to academics and engineers in pavement and road engineering.
