TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2095 includes 15 papers that explore thermal stresses of thick airport concrete pavements, top-down cracking prediction for airfield pavements, design of tie bars in concrete pavements, and evaluation of joint lockup. This issue of the TRR also examines a permanent deformation model of asphalt mixtures, perpetual pavement responses to moving wheel loading and contact stresses, truck traffic inputs for mechanistic-empirical pavement design, calibration in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide, quieter hot-mix asphalt pavements, comparison of a state department of transportation design procedure with mechanistic-empirical pavement design, effect of axle load spectrum characteristics on pavement performance, and predicting alligator fatigue cracking distress. In addition, this TRR highlights the influence of active fillers on the properties of recycled mixes with foamed asphalt, full-depth reclamation with engineered emulsion, and the profile analysis of Arizona Specific Pavement Studies 5 project.
