INTRODUCTION.On May 1st,2024,around 2:10 a.m.,a catastrophic collapse occurred along the Meilong Expressway near Meizhou City,Guangdong Province,China,at coordinates 24°29′24″N and 116°40′25″E.This collapse resu...
Pavement condition monitoring and its timely maintenance is necessary to ensure the safety and quality of the roadway infrastructure. The International Roughness Index (IRI) is a commonly used measure to quantify road...
Commonly,the standards for the geometric design of roads refer to a given set of values for the friction coefficient(longitudinal and transverse friction).These"reference"values imply corresponding visibility sights,c...

The skid resistance and pavement texture can vary a lot for different lane paths,meaning that the lateral shift of the vehicle driving in the lane section can affect the safety significantly.On the other hand,a varyin...
Expansive soils, prone to being influenced by the environmental conditions, undergo expansion when water is introduced and shrinkage upon drying. This persistent volumetric fluctuation can induce differential movement...
Airport pavement engineers are required to maintain pavement skid resistance at a satisfactory level to minimize the likelihood of runway excursions.Runway overruns and skidding along rapid exit taxiways are the two m...
