Investigating Impacts of Asphalt Mixture Properties on Pavement Performance Using LTPP Data through Random Forests

Numerous laboratory studies have demonstrated that the properties of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) play a crucial role in the performance of the HMA. However, few studies have directly correlated HMA properties to field pavement performance. The present …

Improving Accuracy of Rutting Prediction for Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide with Deep Neural Networks

Rutting in asphalt pavement is a critical design criterion in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). However, many studies have shown that the rutting transfer function in the MEPDG fails to produce reliable predictions in that it …
