Accurate and efficient measurement of the rehabilitated pavement performances becomes more and more important in this procedure. In the last 10 years, significant improvements have been made in pavement nondestructive evaluation. NDT (non-destructive testing) has gained popularity because of its advantage in comparison to laboratory testing. Some of these advantages include minimal or no damage to structure, in-situ full-scale testing, relatively low operational cost, and short test duration. The INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) has a project level pavement evaluation program that began several years ago. This project level evaluation program employs FWD (falling weight deflectometer), GPR (ground penetration radar) and video logging. The program provides valuable information about pavement performance characteristics and offers useful tools for developing pavement rehabilitation strategies, specifically overlays and pavement underseals. On the other hand, the state of Indiana had rehabilitated its flexible, rigid or composite pavement almost exclusively with asphalt. This AC (asphalt concrete) overlay can improve the condition of existing pavement and extend the service life of the existing pavement structure. This paper thus describes the experiences of pavement overlay with AC thickness design for the INDOT (Indiana State Department of Transportation) using the AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) 1993 Guide, the MEPDG (Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide). In order to do that, backcalculation program was compared and evaluated to obtain subgrade resilient modulus and k value for pavement rehabilitation using FWD data. Video logging provides IRI (international roughness index) and rut depth for existing pavement condition and GPR provides thickness or pavement bonding conditions in pavement. Emphasis is placed on observations and issues encountered using the current AASHTO 1993 Guide and the MEPDG.","PeriodicalId":15507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of civil engineering and architecture","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135134615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sepe","doi":"10.17265/1934-7359/2023.06.002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17265/1934-7359/2023.06.002","url":null,"abstract":": Each place has its own peculiarities, determining that the resilience and adaptation to diverse types of risks will be different, requiring different time and methods for mitigation as well. The coexistence of several risks determines further resolution difficulties as commonly, since risks are sudden and unforeseen, there is a tendency to treat the last risk more carefully, neglecting the previous one even if it is just as important. Most of the methodologies used to analyse areas affected by different risks are aimed at focusing in particular on seismic risks without considering those relating to intangible aspects linked to the identity of the places or aspects related to urban health and liveability. And, more in general, in relation to design aspects, urban methodologies do not consider all the results of the analyses, maybe for the difficulty deriving from translating the complexity of collected data in project interventions. Starting from these premises, the objective of the article, elaborated within the SISMI and PRIN 2020 research projects is to propose an original methodology capable of analysing the places affected by multiple risks and planning its resilience attentive to its cultural resources and to its liveability. To this end, the proposed method will be aimed at creating flexible and adaptive places and the case-study of Cittaducale will be illustrated. Criticalities and qualities of this place affected by an earthquake in 2016 will be reported and project interventions to transform its risks into opportunities will be shown.","PeriodicalId":15507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of civil engineering and architecture","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75898836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stender","doi":"10.17265/1934-7359/2023.06.001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17265/1934-7359/2023.06.001","url":null,"abstract":": Disadvantaged housing areas from the postwar period typically consist of relatively monotonous and monofunctional multi-storey blocks and have a separate traffic system rendering the areas isolated enclaves in the urban fabric. It is argued that this spatial isolation contributes to social isolation, and current refurbishments are therefore aimed at linking the housing areas with the surrounding neighbourhoods to enable social exchange between the residents and people from the surrounding areas. Based on a case study in a Danish social housing area, this paper discusses to what extent architectural development and urban strategic transformations can contribute to enabling social exchange in disadvantaged housing areas. Do neighbours enter the disadvantaged housing area as intended? If so, how does this influence their perception of the housing area? The analysis shows that architectural development and urban transformations are interdependent in establishing a social mix in disadvantaged housing areas. It is argued that refurbishments can reduce the stigma surrounding the housing area and its residents. However, the applicability of such strategies is highly dependent on the local context of the housing area.","PeriodicalId":15507,"journal":{"name":"Journal of civil engineering and architecture","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84464382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
