  2. 1. Greenhouse Gas Fluxes and Carbon Sequestration in Young Norway Spruce Stands : The Effects of Fertilization

    Author : Charlotta Håkansson; Johan Bergh; Per-Ola Hedwall; Monika Strömgren; Anna M. Jensen; Tomas Lundmark; Tobias Rütting; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; carbon balance; young mixed forests; Picea abies L. Karst. ; Betula spp; chamber measurements; forest floor greenhouse gas fluxes; eddy-flux technology; above ground biomass; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; kolbalans; ung blandskog; Picea abies L.

    Abstract : The enormous challenge of climate change is discussed and debated today because of its major impact on life on Earth. The forests have an important role to play as the plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through their photosynthesis and the growing tree retain carbon (C). READ MORE

  4. 2. Modeling pavement performance based on data from the Swedish LTPP database : predicting cracking and rutting

    Author : Markus Svensson; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Helge Mork; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cracking; Rutting wheel ; Prediction; Calculation; Mathematical model; Flexible pavement; Performance; Sprickbildning; Spårbildning; Förutsägelser; Beräkning; Matematiska modeller; Flexibla överbyggnader; Prestanda; 32 Road: Pavement design; 32 Road: Pavement design;

    Abstract : The roads in our society are in a state of constant degradation. The reasons for this are many, and therefore constructed to have a certain lifetime before being reconstructed. To minimize the cost of maintaining the important transport road network high quality prediction models are needed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Gradation-Based Framework for Asphalt Mixtures

    Author : Bernardita Francisca Lira Miranda; Björn Birgisson; Terhi Pellinen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Asphalt; aggregate gradation; packing theory; asphalt microstructure; porosity; film thickness; rutting; moisture damage.; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

    Abstract : Asphalt mixture microstructure is formed by aggregates, bitumen binder and air voids. Aggregates make for up to 90% of the mixtures volume and the structure formed by them will depend mostly on their size distribution and shape. READ MORE

  6. 4. A Bayesian approach to retrospective detection of change-points in road surface measurements

    Author : Fridtjof Thomas; Urban Hjort; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Change-point detection; retrospective view; autoregressive processes; minimal imaginary training sample; road surface measurements; international roughness index; rutting; Laser-RST vehicles; road maintenance; pavement management; statistik; Statistics;

    Abstract : First-order autoregressive processes are analysed for sudden changes in parameter value. In its most general form, a multivariate vector of measurements is allowed, and no prior knowledge about the involved parameters is required. READ MORE

  7. 5. Rut Depth Prediction on Flexible Pavements - Calibration and Validation of Incremental-Recursive Models

    Author : Sven Agardh; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; offshore technology; Civil engineering; hydraulic engineering; Teknik; Technological sciences; PM-system; deterioration models; rutting; pavement design; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : In later years the development of pavement design has gone towards more and more analytically based methods. Future design will probably be based on incremental deterioration models. The objective is to evaluate different types of rut depth prediction models for an incremental design process. READ MORE
