Laboratory Characterization of Stone Mastic Asphalt Mixtures using Simple Performance Test Protocols

Engr. Salman Pervaiz (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Rutting and fatigue in flexible pavements are one of the common distresses manifested on national highways of Pakistan. Various factors are associated with these distresses including but not limited to overloading, high ...
Rutting Evaluation of Hot Mix Asphalt Mixtures Using Static Creep and Repeated Load Tests

Hafiz M. Farhan Gul (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Permanent deformation of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures is a complex phenomenon in which aggregate, asphalt, and aggregate asphalt interface properties govern overall performance. With passage of time, these properties as ...
Performance Evaluation of Bakelite as an Additive in Hot Mix Asphalt Mixes

Yousaf Ali (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Pakistan is heading towards a major infrastructure growth especially the highway and motorway network system. Most of the roads are flexible pavements which have higher susceptibility to rutting, moisture damage and ...
Development of Work-Trip Mode Choice Model: Analyzing The Effect of Congestion Pricing

Ahmed Nader Khurshid (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Increase in automobile ownership in last decade has prompted congestion, delays and environmental pollution on urban road network. Though, infrastructure interventions have proved effective, but can potentially cause ...
Performance Evaluation of Crumb Rubber Modified Asphalt Mixtures Through Laboratory Investigation

Muhammad Umer Hanif (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Premature pavement failures due to uncontrolled axle loads and high ambient temperature are observed throughout Pakistan leading to high preservation lifecycle costs. Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB) in asphalt mixtures ...
Evaluation and Permeability Modeling Of Open – Graded Friction Course Pavement

Nadeem Anwer Qureshi (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

An open-graded friction course (OGFC) is a special-purpose surface layer of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) pavement that is increasingly being used around the world. Owing to its numerous benefits, OGFC is being regularly used as ...
The Combined Effect of Varying Proportion of Fines And Anti Stripping Agent on Asphalt Concrete Mixtures

Haroon Rafique (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2013)

Moisture damage has been one of the major concerns for hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. In an asphalt mixture moisture damage can be defined as the loss of strength, durability and stiffness due to presence of moisture ...
Experimental Investigation of Various Compaction Temperatures on Properties of Hot Mix Asphalt

Saadia Irum (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2013)

Large number of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements fail prematurely even with the perfect mix design. Large temperature differentials, caused by the placement of cooler portion of plant produced HMA into mat, can potentially ...
Transportation Asset Management: An Enhanced Framework For Pavement Management System of Pakistan)

Muhammad Umar Saeed (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2013)

Transportation infrastructure provides critical national lifelines for commerce, trade, commuting, pleasure travel, national defense, and disaster response. Transportation assets account for a major share of public-sector ...
Optimization of Pakistan Railways Schedule (A Case Study Of A Track Segment From Rawalpindi To Lalamusa

Malik Muneeb Abid (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2013)

One of the most critical components in rail transportation is train schedule. Train scheduling is art of finding arrival times, departure times and dwell times of each train at every station or terminal. Efficiency of a ...
Blackspots Identification And Statistical Analysis Of Accident Frequency Data: Motorway (M-2) Lahore-Islamabad

Syyed Adnan Raheel Shah (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2012)

Highway Safety is one of the most important aspects of transportation engineering as traffic accidents are unavoidable in human life. Developing nations including Pakistan are faced with new dimension of highway safety ...
Performance Evaluation of At-Grade Signalized Urban Intersection Using Synchro / Simtraffic

Kamal Shahbaz Sheikh (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2012)

Signalized intersections are the most complex locations in urban road network system. The operational conditions of intersections profoundly affect the well-being of the movement of goods and passengers. The operational ...
Pavement Impact Assessment Due To Overloading Of Commercial Vehicles In Pakistan

Muhammad Hasan Khalil (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2012)

The performance of the pavements designed for the cumulative expected 18-kip Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) applications is strongly influenced by the actual traffic loading. Commercial traffic due to a significant ...
A Framework For Maintenance And Rehabilitation (M&R) Of Airfields Pavements In Pakistan

Abid Khan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2012)

Airfields in Pakistan operate under three agencies i.e. Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Army. These agencies maintain and manage the airfield pavements falling under their respective ...
Mechanistic Characterization Of Hot Mix Asphalt For Pavements In Pakistan Using Simple Performance Test Protocols
