Summary: This study investigated the relationships between road acoustic response (RAR) and Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) in asphalt mixtures added with different percentages of crumb rubber. Results showed that CR content can lower the mechanical impedance, dynamic stiffness, and acoustic response of the asphalt mixtures in the 0.4-3.2 kHz range. Further investigations are needed for a better understanding of CR impact on tyre/road noise.

Summary: The research compared the performance of Stone Mastic Asphalt mixtures modified with truck tire rubber powder using wet and dry processes. It was found that the dry process mixes had higher indirect tensile strength (ITS) but both methods showed a decrease in ITS as rubber powder content increased. Additionally, the wet process samples had a lower phase angle, indicating higher elasticity, and showed less horizontal deformation compared to the dry process, which could help reduce rutting on the surface layer.

Summary: This paper introduces an efficient and structured analysis method for predicting damages that can occur in flexible pavement subjected to superheavy load (SHL) loading. Existing methodologies including the superposition method and the nucleus segment approach are used to characterize the loading range and magnitude of each SHL. A set of experimental matrices considering pavement properties and loadings from the nucleus segment of each SHL are performed to identify potential damages by SHLs on flexible pavement. Critical pavement responses under SHLs and a reference vehicle (FHWA class 9 truck) are determined and damage ratios are calculated for each SHL compared to the reference vehicle. An advanced statistical prediction model, Generalized Additive Model (GAM), is constructed as a data-driven surrogate model for predicting target responses of flexible pavements.

Summary: Although there have been numerous studies on constructing recycled aggregate base (RAB) layers using recycled aggregates, there is limited information on the impact of the gradation of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) materials and the combined use of RCA and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in such layers. This study aimed to address these knowledge gaps by constructing test cells with RAB layers using different gradations of RCA materials and a blend of RCA and RAP materials. The evaluation of the engineering properties of recycled aggregates and the preliminary performance of the constructed RAB layers were conducted through physical characteristic determination, resilient modulus (MR) tests, falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests, and temperature monitoring.

Summary: To reduce the use of natural aggregates in base layers, researchers have started using recycled aggregate base (RAB) as an alternative. However, there is limited information about the engineering properties of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) materials with different gradations and the blends of RCA and recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials. Additionally, there is a lack of practical application of using a mechanistic-empirical (ME) design method to optimize RAB layer thicknesses. This study conducted laboratory tests to determine the physical and engineering properties of base layer aggregates and evaluated the long-term performance of full-scale test cells built in the field using falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests, rutting measurements, and soil temperature monitoring over a two-year period. An ME design procedure was used to optimize RAB layer thicknesses.

Summary: Electrically-conductive concrete (ECON) can generate heat to melt ice on pavement by applying an electrical voltage, providing a viable alternative to traditional snow removal methods. This study aimed to determine the suitable mixture proportions and procedures for carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced ECON produced by a ready-mix concrete plant. The study found that CF degrades with increased mixing time and a twelve-minute mixing time produced the best-performing ECON with desirable electrical resistivity and heat-generation rate. Further research is recommended to improve CF dispersion and reduce the dosage rate and construction cost of ECON.

Summary: Moving Ahead for Progress in the Twenty-First Century (MAP-21) requires US state highway agencies to use performance-based approaches for decision-making processes, and a remaining service life (RSL) model is considered useful in the pavement management decision-making process. Statistical and artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed for Iowa jointed plain concrete pavement systems (JPCP), with statistical model suitable for project level analysis and ANN model suitable for network level analysis. Excel-based automation tools were created to predict future performance and estimate RSL values, aiding in better-informed pavement management decisions. The study also provides a better understanding of RSL and factors affecting project and network level RSL.

Summary: Otta seal technology has attracted significant interest from road engineers in Iowa as an economical alternative for low-volume road construction, preservation, and rehabilitation. However, there is a lack of sufficient research on this technology in the United States, with only field experience in Norway serving as a guideline. Laboratory tests were conducted on Otta seal specimens prepared using Iowa local aggregates to investigate the effect of various factors on aggregate loss, including aggregate and binder types, application rate calculation methods, and gradation. The results showed that material type variation did not significantly affect aggregate loss, and using recycled aggregates in Otta seal construction demonstrated satisfactory performance. The modified McLeod method was found to have the lowest aggregate loss for Otta seal specimens, and models were developed to predict aggregate loss based on easily measurable material properties.

Summary: The stiffness characteristics of pavement foundation layers are crucial for long-term pavement performance. The resilient modulus (MR) is a key parameter to evaluate the behavior of geomaterials under continuous traffic loads. In this study, the effects of boundary type and stress history on the stiffness characteristics of an unbound geomaterial were determined using a cyclic true-triaxial device. The results showed that rigid boundary conditions resulted in higher MR in both vertical and horizontal directions, and the anisotropy ratios for mixed-type and rigid boundary conditions were determined.

Summary: This study analyzes the erosion mechanisms of NaCl solution on asphalt concrete and finds that NaCl solution softens asphalt and promotes the intrusion of crystalline salt into it. Salt crystallization alters the surface roughness of aggregates, resulting in a decrease in skid resistance but an improvement in compressive strength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl solution initially has no significant impact on the mechanical performance of asphalt concrete, but its domination gradually increases with the intensification of cyclic effects.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the tensile behavior of cracked ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The results show that long-term freezing and thawing action deteriorates the cracking strength, tensile strength, tensile strain, and strain energy of cracked UHPC. On the other hand, the action of water generally favors the development of tensile properties of UHPC. The crack distribution tends to be unsaturated under freezing and thawing environment, and the re-hydration reaction is hindered. The pore structure near the crack varies under different environments.

Summary: Tailings dam break and leakage accidents pose a threat to the safety of people in mining areas and cause severe environmental pollution. This study focuses on solidifying tailing sand using microbial induced calcite precipitation (MICP) to improve strength and fix heavy metals. The curing time of MICP bio-cemented tailings is found to significantly impact the strength of tailings, while its effect on heavy metal fixation is minimal. The optimized MICP curing time is 10 days, resulting in improved strength and cementation of tailings particles.
