TRB’s Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2016 includes 13 papers organized in two parts. Part 1, Pavements: geotechnical properties of materials, explores rockfill embankment settlement, evaluation of the light falling weight deflectometer (FWD), performance deformation and critical stress of cohesive soil under repeated loading, elastic nonlinear finite element analysis of a flexible pavement subjected to FWD loads, mechanistic classification of unbound materials, skid resistance of unpaved roads, gravel roads surface performance modeling, seismic methods for assessment of debonding in concrete slabs, assessing early age delamination distress, and genetic algorithms-based network optimization system with multiple objectives. Part 2, Characterization of rock slopes and subsurfaces, biochemical processes in soils, includes papers on estimating rock slope stability using logistic regression analysis, ground proving seismic refraction tomography programs, and monod kinetics for aerobic biodegradation of calcium magnesium acetate.
