Phase Two Ideas
We have decided on the following research ideas for the future of the alliance and MnROAD.
Preventive Maintenance
- Spray on Rejuvenator Synthesis
- Spray on Rejuvenator Test Sections
- Service Life Enhancement of Substrates Overlaid with Thin Overlays (UTWBC, Chip Seals & Microsurfacing) for each state
- Concrete Pavement Restoration (CPR) for Bonded Concrete Overlays of Asphalt (BCOA)
Flexible
- Mix Rejuvenator Synthesis (Phase-1)
- Mix Rejuvenator Test Sections (Phase-II)
Intelligent Construction Technologies
- Evaluation of Levels 3-4 Intelligent Compaction Measurement Values (ICMV) for Soils Subgrade and Aggregate Subbase Compaction
- Support Importing, Viewing and Analysis of Dielectric Constant Data in Veta
- HD and VHD Seismic Approaches for Roadway Evaluation
Geotechnical
- Mechanistic Load Restriction Decision Platform for Pavement Systems Prone to Moisture Variations
- Environmental Impacts on the Performance of Pavement Foundation Layers
- Permeability of Base Aggregate and Sand
- Improve material inputs into mechanistic design properties for reclaimed HMA Roadways
Rigid
- Construction Report for Jointless FRC Roundabout in Minnesota
- Incorporate Joint Faulting Model Into BCOA-ME
- Engineered Dowel and Tie Bars combined with LTPP SPS-2 Determination of Causes for Cracking Over Dowel Bars
