An optimization-based maintenance scheduling framework is an essential tool to plan the
necessary investment to maintain the required performance of a railway line. In the present …

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

In the present study, two potential industrial waste materials, such as, fly ash (FA) and lime
sludge (LS) that are generated in bulk quantities and poses environmental hazards were …

Recognizing the need for sustainable and long-lasting structures, reliability-based designs
have been gaining acceptance in the pavement engineering community. The Reliability …

The uncertainty in material properties and traffic characterization in the design of flexible
pavements has led to significant efforts in recent years to incorporate reliability methods and …

The simplified viscoelastic continuum damage model (S-VECD) has been widely accepted
as a computationally efficient and a rigorous mechanistic model to predict the fatigue …

This study presents a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) framework for evaluating
a four-layered flexible pavement system. The major focus of the study is the optimum design …

This paper presents a simple yet efficient approach for the reliability-based design of flexible
pavements, based on the concept of quantile-values. The reliability-based approaches …

Analysis of Pavement Structures brings together current research and existing knowledge
on the analysis and design of pavements and introduces load and thermal stress analyses …

Reliability has been incorporated in pavement design tools to account for input variability
