TL;DR: This study presents a framework that improves any analytical pavement damage accumulation approach to take a lateral position of loading as an explicit input and was applied on the state-of-the-practice pavement design approach, Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guideline (MEPDG).

TL;DR: In this article, falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing has been used to evaluate structural condition of pavements to predict the layer moduli using backcalculation process, however, the predicted pavement layer modulus sometimes may not be accurate even if computed and measured deflection basin has fulfilled the standard and is in concurrence with certain tolerable limits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and laboratory performance of asphalt mixtures with a high percentage of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) was studied and two aggregate sources were used to develop eight asphalt mix designs.

TL;DR: Investigating each uncertainty source of the model indicated the importance of the accurate characterization, propagation, and quantification of uncertainty, and independent and relatively easy to implement methods that provide robust grounds for objective model uncertainty analysis for LCA applications are proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, a system of systems (SoS) biofuel model considering the interdependency among the systems involved in biofuel development, including biofuel refinery location, transportation infrastructure, agricultural production and markets, environment, and social communities is presented.
