Influence of Blending Technique on Surface Free Energy of Modified Asphalt Cement
Abstract: AbstractThe processing technique of modified asphalt cement in the laboratory is adopted by heating the asphalt cement in an oven to the required mixing temperature; then the additive is added and mixed for a target mixing time. It was felt that such technique allows more volatiles to evaporate and required high mixing temperature. In this work, asphalt cement of 44 penetration grade was gained from Dora refinery, south west of …

Prediction of Traffic using Economic Attributes
Abstract: AbstractIncrease in traffic flow in a region reflects the development of transport infrastructure. Transport infrastructure development arises due to new investment in the region as it is a significant factor for assessing the social and economic viability of any highway project. Impact of economics on traffic is difficult to analyze traffic flow projection. To comprehend the objective, economic attributes such as investment and employment generated in the region are considered …
