The transparency, heterogeneity and hypotheses considered in the calculation of the
environmental impacts of roads are still barriers to the identification of low-carbon solutions …

Dynamic modulus is an essential parameter for the performance characterisation of asphalt
materials for performance prediction and pavement design. The Indirect Tensile (IDT) test …

The carbon dioxide emissions generated during the life of flexible asphalt pavements are an
important indicator of the sustainability of these infrastructures. The study aims at tentatively …

Base course is an important structural layer of a road pavement which plays a vital role in
transferring and distributing the traffic loadings to the subgrade. The base usually comprises …

Abstract In a Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement design system, the dynamic modulus is
used to characterise asphalt mixtures, which are affected by many factors including …

The sensing instrumentation and testing operations routinely implemented in-situ to monitor
the condition of both paved (flexible, rigid) and unpaved roads are critically reviewed: image …

Abstract The Finite Element (FE) method allows for use of advanced material models and an
effective and adequate analysis of mechanical behaviours for flexible pavements. This study …

The tunnelling operations connected to the construction of the new Norwegian E39 highway
generate a considerable amount of blasted rocks. The local use of these rocks as …

High-quality coarse aggregates are routinely used for the surface, base, and subbase layers
in paved roads or the surface course in unpaved low-volume roads. Unfortunately, high …

The “Ferry-free coastal highway route E39” project includes building several long tunnels
along the southwestern Norwegian coast. The tunnelling operations will generate a large …
