ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractRoads constructed over poor ground conditions that carry high traffic volumes and axle loads may, over time, experience persisting occurrences of pavement distress. Road construction, be it a new or…
AbstractMost initial implementations of pavement management systems face limited or unavailable local prediction of treatment effectiveness. This means decision makers either are forced to borrow benchmark values from elsewhere or…
AbstractCurrently, there is a global increase in the use of sustainable technologies in the construction of pavement systems. Cold bituminous emulsion mixture (CBEM) is a promising alternative to hot mix…
AbstractTransportation agencies have been facing the challenge of shrinking budgets and reductions in the size of inspection staff with an increased number of construction projects over the last decade. For…
Just along concrete’s gray surface, a chemical reaction is occurring. Known as carbonation, this reaction forms calcium carbonate, a benign chalk-like material, but it can also affect climate change. That’s…
Every time you hear a deep rumble and feel your house shake when a big truck roars by, that’s partly because the weight of heavy vehicles causes a slight deflection…

With around 4.18 million miles of roads in the United States, planning pavement maintenance can seem like a daunting process. Currently, departments of transportation (DOTs) tend to rely on past…
