Laboratory fatigue test has been widely used by researchers and engineers to assess the fatigue performance of asphalt mixture, due to its low cost, high efficiency, and strong operability. To ensure performance assessment reliability, fatigue test operated in the laboratory needs to simulate the loading and environmental conditions occurring in the field asphalt layer. As a result, loading setups in laboratory fatigue tests, including loading mode, loading frequency, loading waveform, temperature, and the controlled mode, have been carefully devised by researchers. This paper reviews the above common setups in fatigue tests, which aims to illustrate the classical and latest considerations as well as ideas proposed by researchers for improving fatigue test procedures. As fatigue response data of asphalt mixture is measured from fatigue test, an analysis method is required to process the data and identify fatigue behaviors of the material. Presently, the frequently-used fatigue data analysis methods include the fatigue life model, stiffness-modulus-based method, energy-based method, and viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) method. This paper also provides a review survey on the main concepts, indicators, and models included in those methods to facilitate their applications. Meanwhile, the latest research progress and outputs related to the four methods are also introduced and discussed to reveal the state-of-the-art developments in this research area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Road Engineering","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 279-308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2097049822000609/pdfft?md5=e9847149b9d16545503b6a191c962e31&pid=1-s2.0-S2097049822000609-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89029242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the maximum strain of S1–S4 is within the endurance strain limit. S1, S2, S3 and S4 are all expected to be long-life asphalt pavements. In the current study, Sections S1–S4 were maintained in good condition during a service period of more than 17 years with no structural cracks and good deflection, rutting, and IRI indexes. The deflection index was stable without growth, and the IRI was also relatively stable following the opening to traffic. The rutting depth underwent a slight cumulative increase within 8 years of opening, and then stabilized. The average rutting depth over the 17-year period was less than 15 mm. Therefore, S1–S4 meet the design standards required for use as long-life pavements.

However, because of inefficient handling and utilization, these wastes are becoming a larger issue. As a result, one initiative is to use these wastes in the pavement industry as sustainable materials. However, there is still a lack of understanding about the wider incorporation of palm oil waste in asphalt pavement and its performance. This study examines existing literature on the use of various wastes in the pavement industry, including palm oil clinker (POC), palm oil fibre (POF), palm kernel shell (PKS), and palm oil fuel ash (POFA). As a result, this paper presents a systematic review and scientometric investigation of related study publications on many uses of palm oil waste in the asphalt pavement industry and its performance from 2009 to 2022. The VOSviewer application was used to conduct the scientometric study analysis. The relationship between interactions detected in co-authored country studies cited sources of co-citation, and the keyword of the co-occurrence and publication source enabled the identification of the research gap. According to the systematic literature review, 40%–60% POC can be used to fine aggregate for optimal performance, while 0–100% PKS can be used to replace coarse aggregate. In addition, 50%–80% POFA or POC fine (POCF) can be used as a filler replacement, 5%–8% POCF or POFA as a bitumen modifier, and 0.3% POF as a stabilizing additive. Furthermore, the study demonstrates that the safety of utilizing wastes with more than 50% CO<sub>2</sub> emissions can be curtailed with minimal heavy metal leaching and radioactivity levels. The scientometric analysis may encourage researchers to seek out gaps in the literature that will aid in the long-term, multifaceted use of palm oil wastes in the asphalt pavement industry. Furthermore, the study recommends employing and researching the enormous potential of using palm oil waste in the pavement sectors because they are more sustainable and have better performance. However, there are some barriers to using palm oil waste in the asphalt pavement industry, such as a lack of design standards and guidelines, inefficient raw material processing conversion facilities, and large-scale production equipment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100830,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Road Engineering","volume":"2 4","pages":"Pages 309-331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2097049822000579/pdfft?md5=51ecf2f30b46a6bda78c4ba41d0279a4&pid=1-s2.0-S2097049822000579-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76474180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the implementation of AASHTO M-E design for low-volume concrete pavements using AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (Pavement ME) software is often overly conservative. This is because Pavement ME specifies the minimum design thickness of concrete slab as 152.4 mm (6 in.). This paper introduces a novel extension of the AASHTO M-E framework for the design of low-volume joint plain concrete pavements (JPCPs) without modification of Pavement ME. It utilizes multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP)-based computational models to obtain rapid solutions for JPCP damage accumulation and long-term performance analyses. The developed MGGP models simulate the fatigue damage and differential energy accumulations. This permits the prediction of transverse cracking and joint faulting for a wide range of design input parameters and axle spectrum. The developed MGGP-based models match Pavement ME-predicted cracking and faulting for rigid pavements with conventional concrete slab thicknesses and enable rational extrapolation of performance prediction for thinner JPCPs.

(1) Self-healing construction materials have the potential to significantly extend the service life of construction elements. Urban and industrial wastes such as food waste, biomass, metals have been used to create self-healing construction materials that are more environmentally friendly. (2) Self-cleaning construction materials not only remove pollution by repelling water on their superhydrophobic surface, but also cut building and infrastructure maintenance costs, while improving cities' air quality by degrading pollutants such as NO<sub><em>x</em></sub>. Pavement engineers have exploited self-cleaning characteristic to facilitate the de-icing of pavements and lengthening the service life of pavements. (3) Self-rejuvenating materials including bio-oils can revitalize materials and delay aging; bio-oils can also be used to make bio-binders, thereby reducing the need for petroleum-based binders. The optimum concentration of bio-oil for asphalt modification depends on the chemical structure of oils.
