    Abstract: As the direct foundation of the track, the surface layer of high-speed railway subgrade bed is one of the important parts of the subgrade. Its main function is to transmit and spread the vertical load of the upper ballast bed and the vehicle dynamic load to maintain the long-term stability of the subgrade bed surface. So, the material for the surfa... Show More

    Abstract: This paper presents an approach to analyze spatial and temporal (spatiotemporal) patterns of traffic accidents and to organize them according to their level of significance. This approach was tested using three years (2011-2013) of traffic accident data for Sherbrooke. The spatiotemporal patterns of traffic accidents were analyzed using kernel dens... Show More

    Abstract: Reliable surface free energy characterization is required in order to implement the suitable recycling agent into aged asphalt. One proven method to estimate asphalt surface free energy is to calculate it using contact angles measured with various liquids. The efficiency of recycling agent in terms of its impact on rheology and surface free energy ... Show More

    Abstract: Traffic congestion and lack of public pedestrian space are faced by most urban areas in Bangladesh. Provision of facilities for pedestrian is not increased as a rate of increase in population. Consequently pedestrians are at greater risk for their safety, especially in the commercial zones of large cities. In Rajshahi, walkways are constructed rece... Show More

    Abstract: In highway constructions, sub-grade and sub-base soil stabilization has been used as one of the prime and major process for many years in order to improve the engineering properties of soil. The strength of theses layers is indicated by their California bearing ratio (CBR) value which is quite expensive and time consuming. In order to overcome this... Show More
