A Study on FWD Deflection Bowl Parameters for Structural Evaluation of Flexible Pavement
Abstract: The application of falling weight deflectometer (FWD) is to evaluate structural condition of the pavement. The exercise of backcalculation is required to identify the modulus of elasticity of existing in service pavement. The process of backcalculation required in depth field experience for the input of range of modulus of elasticity of bituminous, granular and subgrade layer, and its required number of trial to find such matching moduli with the observed …

Development of Strategy for Funding Resource for Maintenance of Afghanistan Road Network Using Road Tolls Collection
Abstract: Road is the lifeline for the development of Afghanistan because the economic development are related to the agriculture, therefore as much the connection of roads improve that much the economy of the country will increase. The social improvements are also related to the improvement of the road so as much improved road are available that much the country will be developed, like education, health care, water and food requirement and …

Experimental Study of Geopolymer Concrete in Construction of Rigid Pavement
Abstract: Geopolymer concrete is an inorganic alumino-silicate polymer. In the present experimental study of geopolymer concrete, the ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash, sodium hydroxide solution of molarity 14 and sodium silicate solution of molarity 14 are used to prepare geopolymer concrete mixture. The ground granulated blast furnace slag used here is taken from Jindal Steel and Power Limited, Raigarh. Different proportions of the constituents are mixed to get different …

Computer Programming Tool for the Design of Concrete Mixes for Pavement Quality Concrete Roads in India
Abstract: Basically concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregates and water. These constituents bonds together and hardens with time and give strength to structure. The proportioning of concrete mixes consists of determining relative quantities of materials to be used. Thus to calculate proportions of various components of concrete several mix calculations are required to be performed. Consequently, it is not possible to select at once the exact mix proportion required …

Computation of Remaining Serviceable Life (RSL) of Bituminous Concrete (BC) Surfaced Road Sections using Hdm-4 Model
Abstract: The road network is the basic component that facilitates free movement of traffic from one area to another. The road sections are constructed to facilitate traffic for their entire design life. Due to the insufficient maintenance and rehabilitation activities, road section deteriorates rapidly and rapid deterioration results in entire road section damage prior to its design life. This paper presents the methodology for computing remaining serviceable life (RSL) in years …
