A Review on Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavements using Falling Weight Deflectometer
Abstract: For rehabilitation design processes, the new Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design approach relies heavily on the material stiffness, back calculated from the deflection measurements taken from existing pavements. These measurements are typically made using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) or Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD) units. In order to provide high quality and consistent material stiffness data for the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design the deflection results obtained at radial distance in between 0 and 1800 …

Innovative Risk Aperture Manipulation Model for Risk Management in Mega Project Construction
Abstract: The complexities associated with the technical, managerial and financial interventions in mega project implementation accommodates greater risks, encapsulating the complete project period from inception to closure. Consideration of risks in mega project scope is of paramount importance as it delineates either threat or opportunity in the guise of uncertainty at each and every phase of the project. The absence of innovative and rigorous risk management structure imparts a perplexing scenario …

Using AHP in Belt Conveyor Selection Problem
Abstract: Belt conveyor plays a dominating role in screening creaser. The performance of belt conveyor is primary issue for screening creaser. There are various criteria which affect the performance of belt conveyor. Selection of belt conveyor is a Multi-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. In that respect there are many methods available for selection of belt conveyor; however this paper targets to explore the applicability of AHP to solve belt conveyor selection …
