Construction practice is a key factor in building high quality pavement. Unfortunately failure and distresses frequently develop shortly after construction. These distresses may be due to the contractors failing to follow the guidelines and specifications. Monitoring pavement co…
Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has asked the University of Nevada, Reno to research and develop a Percent With Limits program. They find it difficult to enforce demerits when pavement sections are measured to be out of tolerance. For example, if a pavement section is…
This dissertation describes a project-level pavement type selection procedure developed for use in roadway agencies and details the overall decision framework required for making dependable pavement type selection decisions. The developed pavement type selection procedure will e…
One of the latest efforts aimed at revolutionizing the pavement design and analysis procedures is the National Cooperative for Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 1-37A (Development of the 2002 Guide for the Design of New and Rehabilitated Pavement Structures). One signific…
The state of Nevada is experiencing permanent deformation problems with hot mix asphalt pavements at or near intersections. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is currently using a Type 2C dense graded mixture in most of its construction. The NDOT Type 2C mixture show…
This research documents an extensive study on the design and characterization of asphalt mixtures for use as road pavement material. Several aspects of asphalt mixtures were addressed using the state of the art laboratory test equipment and technical literature from different in…
The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in flexible pavement surface layer has been a major sensitive issue in the construction industry. Due to limited space available in landfills, the decline in the amount of high quality virgin aggregate, and the high price of oil, the u…
