Concrete is widely used as a construction material in pavements by public and private agencies that administer highway networks because of its high durability and capacity to resist large traffic loads and very rigorous ...

Nowadays, pavement construction is expected to be more energy efficient and road pavements to be more environmentally and socially friendly. In this context the Swiss Federal Office of Transport FOT, has established a road ...

One of the key principal goals of pavement asset management is to develop and implement cost-effective pavement construction and maintenance strategies that achieve the required levels of service and performance. A ...

This article discus about the heavy industrial asphalt pavements structural design, through the application of a mechanistic approach for the analysis and design. The heavy industrial pavements are principally characterized ...

Pervious concrete pavements are interesting from an environmental and social viewpoint. However, this type of pavement has as the main disadvantage of losing permeability over time by the clogging process. The aim of this ...

© 2019 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, Escuela de Construccion Civil. Highways have been and are built using Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) as surface layer. The most common HMA design procedure is the Marshall Method, a ...

The wide production of construction and demolition waste and its illegal deposition are serious current problems in Brazil. This research proposes to evaluate the feasibility of using aggregate from recycled construction ...

The scenario of the Brazilian asphalt pavement previses changes. The new method for dimensioning road structures in development, considering a mechanistic-empirical routine, which seeks to replace the current method ...

This paper describes a method for the evaluation of pavement condition through artificial neural networks using the MLP backpropagation technique. Two of the most used procedures for detecting the pavement conditions were ...
