A Case Study on Analysis of Road Safety concerns on a stretch of National Highway 12 in Rajasthan
Abstract: AbstractRoad safety is a growing social concern in the present day world. Rapid expansion in the road network and high motorization growth has led to serious impacts on road safety levels in India. The analysis of road accident data 2015 reveals that about 1,374 accidents and 400 deaths took place every day on Indian roads, which further converted into 57 accidents and loss of 17 lives on an average every …

Resilient Characteristics of Modified Subgrade Soil
Abstract: AbstractThe problems with poor subgrade soil which is considered as the foundation for the flexible pavement regarding the deformation under load repetitions is a major concern for road engineers. The Poor subgrade soil may be improved by stabilization or implication of soil reinforcements. In this work, the pneumatic repeated loading testing techniques has been implemented for assessing the influence of both techniques on the resilient characteristics of subgrade soil. Cutback …

Influence of Polymer Additives on Physical Properties of Asphalt Concrete under Marshal, Flexure and Compressive Stresses
Abstract: AbstractThe polymer modified asphalt cement is used today to reduce early pavement distress and extend service life by enhancing adhesion, cohesion, and elasticity. This work studies the impact of polymer additives (SBS, LDPE, and rubber) to asphalt cement on the physical properties of asphalt concrete subjected to compression and flexure stresses, and Marshal volumetric properties. Asphalt concrete cylindrical specimens of 101.6 mm diameter and 127 mm height for compressive strength …
