AbstractA review of mechanical models of road pavements in the form of a proposal of classification of these models is presented. It is assumed an autonomy of the following elements of pavement model: the models of structural layers, the subgrade model, the interlayer bonding models, including bonding of pavement structure with its subgrade, the models of external impacts on pavement layers, including load of heavy traffic, the models of pavement environment impacts on structural layers’ borders (lateral) and subgrade borders (including the lower one) – according to the selected criteria such as structural criterion, material criterion (physical criterion), dimension criterion and model scope (purpose) criterion − in the frame of assumptions of the classical Newtonian deterministic mechanics. The presented attempt to classify mechanical models of road pavements supports to orientate the roadmen community within a scope of the mechanistic modelling of these structures.

The tack coat bond is known to affect the longevity of asphalt pavements. Proper interlayer bonding prevents successive pavement layers from acting independently of one another and creating non-uniform stress and strain profiles in the pavement structure. Poor bonding between pavement layers can result in various pavement failures such as slippage cracking, debonding, and early fatigue cracking, all of which contribute to a reduced pavement fatigue life. Tack coat application rate and uniformity (that can be achieved by uniform tack coat application and by avoiding/minimizing tracking) are two major factors that control the performance of the tack coat bonding and longevity of the pavement structure. In this study, a wireless scale system (OreTackRate) that can be controlled from a tablet computer was developed to measure tack coat application rate accuracy and uniformity. The developed wireless scale system was recommended to be implemented during construction to validate application rate accuracy and uniformity. In addition, a distributor truck certification process was developed and presented in this study. The developed scale system can also be used to determine whether the applied tack coat is cured at any time point during construction. Residual tack coat application rate can also be measured using OreTackRate during construction. Implementation of all these tests, procedures, and technologies is expected to improve the tack coat uniformity during construction and improve the overall longevity of the pavement structure.

The interlayer bonding of double-layer porous asphalt pavement will show more variations with different construction technologies, such as one-step molding by double-layer (hot on hot) paver, or paving layer by layer (hot on cold) with or without tack coat, and the variations will definitely have influences on pavement structure. Different interlayer technologies are studied in this paper on three levels including simulation experiments on specimen by indoor preparation, calculation of pavement mechanics, and construction of testing road, so that optimal interlayer bonding technology for double-layer porous asphalt pavement is discussed in combination with its effect on permeability.

The mechanical analysis of interlayer bonding problem of asphalt pavement is performed by the elastic layered system theory or finite element method (FEM); then, a lot of specialized programs based on the above theories emerged successively, of which BISAR3.0 and EverStressFE are quite representative. In order to further clarify the characteristics of BISAR3.0 and EverStressFE for investigating interlayer bonding problem of asphalt pavement, this paper will carry out a comprehensive comparison from the specific realization viewpoint, such as the principle of interlayer bonding, modeling, calculation processing, and result treatment, and a specific example will be given to compare and analyze their functions. The results indicate that the two programs have certain comparability in analyzing the interlayer bonding problem of asphalt pavement, which will contribute to the foundation for the rational selection of asphalt pavement structure mechanical analysis program.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rising infrastructure of 21st century. The classification of traffic over IoT networks is attained significance importance due to rapid growth of users and devices. It is need of the hour to isolate the normal traffic from the malicious traffic and to assign the normal traffic to the proper destination to suffice the QoS requirements of the IoT users. Detection of malicious traffic can be done by continuously monitoring traffic for suspicious links, files, connection created and received, unrecognised protocol/port numbers, and suspicious Destination/Source IP combinations. A proficient classification mechanism in IoT environment should be capable enough to classify the heavy traffic in a fast manner, to deflect the malevolent traffic on time and to transmit the benign traffic to the designated nodes for serving the needs of the users. In this work, adaboost and Xgboost machine learning algorithms and Deep Neural Networks approach are proposed to separate the IoT traffic which eventually enhances the throughput of IoT networks and reduces the congestion over IoT channels. The result of experiment indicates a deep learning algorithm achieves higher accuracy compared to machine learning algorithms.

SUMMARYMobility is a fundamental parameter of mechanisms expressing in a qualitative manner their kinematic and dynamic properties. The mobility formulae presented in literature take into consideration some of the structural entities, such as bodies, joints, constraints, closed loops, and space characteristics; however, the specific mechanical model that has traditionally been at the origin of the mobility criteria themselves is incompletely specified and, even then, only implicitly. In this paper, we propose a classification of the mobility criteria based on the known dynamic models. While all known mobility criteria have been associated with a specific dynamic model, some particular, less used dynamic models (like natural coordinates and multi-particle models) suggested new mobility criteria models. The associated mechanical model for each category of mobility criteria allows a qualitative assessment of the kinematic and dynamic sets of equations to be formulated in later stages of analysis. A simple multi-loop mechanism is taken as an example just to illustrate the mobility calculation and qualitative assessment of the kinematic and dynamic models in each case. Based on the proposed classification of the mobility formulae, an assessment is made with particular regard to their applicability to overconstrained mechanisms.

Viewing so many overload vehicles, this paper analyzes the stress distribution of asphalt pavement structure under heavy traffic theoretically, according to the main asphalt pavement structure form in our country. By using elastic layer theory and BISAR3.0 program, analyzed the mechanical response variation of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement under different axle loads. The results showed that the mechanical response and the stress indexes of pavement structure under heavy traffic changed significantly. Therefore, in asphalt pavement design, the impact of heavy traffic should be fully considered and we must take measures to control the overload situation.

Control of differential settlement of widened subgrade is one of key pints for the quality control of expressway reconstruction and extension projects and a focus for many scholars. In the paper, the analysis model of the pavement structure stress is built based on character and design parameters of the subgrade and pavement of Tianjin-Binhai Expressway. The control standards for the subgrade and pavements differential settlement of Tianjin-Binhai Expressway are confirmed through analyzing the pavements mechanical response under different differential settlements and treatment measures are taken according to classification of different differential settlements to control the final settlement amount within the preset range, which provides references for renovation and extension projects in future.
