Semi-flexible pavements represent an innovative class of composite materials that combine the inherent flexibility of asphalt with the rigidity and high compressive strength of cementitious grouts.

Geosynthetic reinforcement has emerged as a transformative approach in the design of flexible pavements, addressing challenges associated with load distribution, deformation, and material longevity.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Hyderabad have developed a novel modelling technique which they say could help in the construction of long-lasting roads in the country. The ...

There have been several talks on the use of flexible or rigid pavements for Nigerian roads. The merits and demerits of both have been well noted. While rigid pavements are costlier, they can withstand ...

In Pavement ME, environmental factors are considered using the EICM, a one-dimensional finite-difference program and sophisticated climatic modeling tool capable of simulating the flows of heat and ...

Over the years, the asphalt industry has been working hard to improve the longevity of the pavements we drive on. We have acknowledged the fact that the right treatment, on the right pavement, at the ...
