Barzegaran J, Khan S, Swarna S, Hossain K. (2024). Development of International Roughness Index Model for Canadian Conditions using Artificial Neural Networks. International Conference on Asphalt Pavement – ISAP 2024. Accepted

Abstract: Pavement Management System (PMS) is crucial in road network assessment and rehabilitation. One of the most significant and straightforward functional performance indices used in PMS is the International Roughness Index (IRI), which generally measures the road roughness of the pavement. Sophisticated road surface profiling equipment is... More

Khan S, Swarna S, Hossain K, Mehta Y. (2023). Systematic Evaluation of Impact of Pavement Design Parameters on Mechanical Responses that Cause Bottom-Up Cracking in Asphalt Concrete Overlay. 102nd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board.

Abstract: Most of the Departments of Transportation in North America are shifting its focus from the construction of new roads to the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing highways. Every year thousands of kilometers of road are being maintained or rehabilitated in North America. So, there is a necessity to look for appropriate strategies to... More

Barzegaran J, Fakhri M, Dezfoulian R S, Hossain K. (2023). A New Approach in Estimating the Overall Condition of Asphalt Pavements Using a Combined Index: An Iranian Case Study. Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Annual Conference.

Abstract: There exists two factors to assist in deciding whether or not a municipality should expect to have a roadway management system, these being population size and road network size. A large population tends to contribute more vehicles to the roads, which leads to frequent maintenance needs and therefore requires a road management system.... More

Islam T, Hossain K, Aurilio M, Bazan C, Caul G. (2022). Evaluation of Rheological Properties of SBS and Gilsonite Modified Asphalt Binders Containing Liquid Anti-Strip Additives. Transportation Research Board (TRB) 101st Annual Meeting At: Washington, D.C. Accepted.

Abstract: Since 2008, the number of roads in Canada has been going up due to rapid urbanization and economic growth, and by 2020, there is more than 1.08 million kilometres of roads across the country. Around 90% of roads managed in Canada are paved with asphalt materials. During the service life, asphalt pavement experiences... More
