Rutting Susceptibility and Moisture Damage of Hot Mix Asphalt Containing Recycled Asphalt Pavement

Waqas Rafiq (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2015)

Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) use in pavement has increased a lot from the last two decades. RAP usage has now become common practice in many countries. Highway agencies around the world are endeavoring to use larger ...
Performance Evaluation of Aggregate Gradations Adjusted Through the Bailey Method

Jamal Ahmed Khan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2015)

In asphalt mix design, the aggregate structure of the compacted mix is an important factor to evaluate, that contributes to the performance of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA). Bailey method provides a systematic way of blending ...
Laboratory Characterization of HMA Mixes Subjected to Indirect Tensile Fatigue Test

Muhammad Aniq Gul (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2015)

Fatigue in the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavements is an important distress mainly caused due inadequate and deficient initial pavement structure and bituminous mixture design. This study investigates the fatigue characteristics ...
Estimation of Highway Project Duration at the Planning Stage and Analysis of Risk Factors Leading To Time Overrun

Sidra Kaleem (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Estimation of time duration of highway projects at the planning stage serves as a vital input for construction planning, scheduling and contract administration. However time overrun, resulting from various factors is the ...
Evaluating Subgrade Soil Stabilization using Cement and Lime, Their Cost and Damage Progression Analysis

Abdul Hanan Tunio (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2015)

This research study evaluates subgrade soil stabilization using cement and lime and their cost and damage progression analysis. Since treatments to soil are generally classified as processes of soil stabilization or soil ...
Estimation of Pavement Damage Cost for Establishing Equitable Road Use Fee for Commercial Vehicles An Exploratory Empirical Analysis

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

Due to higher user expectations and growing travel demand, highway agencies around the globe continue to face ever-greater needs for funding the maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction (MR&R) of their highway ...
Laboratory Characterization of Asphalt Concrete Mixtures using Dynamic Modulus Test

Yasir Ali (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)
Characterization of Asphalt Mixtures of Pakistan using Asphalt Mixture Performance Tester and Resilient Modulus Test

Hassan Bin Tahir (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)
Characterization of Various HMA Mixtures Using Resilient Modulus Test

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

Resilient modulus is an important parameter of hot mix asphalt (HMA) design and analysis of pavement structural response under traffic loading. This research study attempts to characterize different HMA mixtures using ...
Performance Evaluation of Asphaltic Airfield Pavements using Elvaloy as a Fuel Resistant Polymer

Madiha Saeed (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Fuel is considered as one of the primary factor for distresses at airfield pavements, filling stations, parking lots and industrial plants. Accidental fuel spillage on asphaltic pavement can lead to its deterioration due ...
Prediction of Road Crash Fatalities for Pakistan using Aggregate Data

Beenish Akbar Khan (NICE SCEE, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, 2014)

Nations around the globe continue to face the challenges posed by alarming increase in number of road crash fatalities (RCF) and injuries. About 1.24 million people die every year in road traffic crashes worldwide and ...
Performance Evaluation of Asphaltic Mixtures using Bakelite

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

Flexible pavements mainly consists of two basic components that are aggregate and asphalt binder. These two components (aggregate and asphalt) in HMA mixtures are optimally mixed in quantity to produce an economical mix ...
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 ...
