Dynamic Behavior of Recycled Asphalt Concrete
Abstract: Utilizing reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in new asphalt mixtures has increased in recent years because of its economic and environmental benefits. The dynamic behavior of the recycled asphalt concrete (with cutback and emulsion) in terms of resilient modulus (Mr), rutting resistance, and permanent microstrain have been investigated in this work. Cylindrical specimens of 102 mm in diameter and 102 mm in height have been prepared from the recycled mixture after …

Rigid pavement design in black cotton soil areas in Chhattisgarh: A Study
Abstract: Land in cotton soil is very fertile and is very good for agriculture purpose. But rigid pavement design in such type is soil is very challenging due to its quick changing properties due to climatic conditions. For Rigid Pavement various procedures must be followed to avoid damage. Black Cotton soil has high swelling and shrinkage properties; it is hard as long as it remains dry, but it loses its stability …

Modeling Pedestrian Walking and Crossing Characteristics at Nasiriya CBD
Abstract: To empower and support walking, comprehension of pedestrian and development of safe facilities for walking is essential. This work examines the factors which influence walking and crossing speed. The variations in walking speed of pedestrians are modeled and related to pedestrian characteristics such as gender, age group, and clothing traditions. On the other hand, the crossing speed of pedestrians was detected, and modeled. The counts of pedestrians were performed using …
