1. Mixed-Grained Till in Pavement Structures; A Field and Laboratory Study
Abstract : The road network in Sweden has historically been constructed using rock fill and natural gravel. More than 75 per cent of the land surface of Sweden is covered by glacial till and greater utilization of site-won material will not only reduce transportation costs but will also promote better sustainability of natural assets.

2. Smart pavement maintenance and infrastructure operation through digital twins : Case study for Norvik Port, Sweden
Abstract : There is an urgent need to make the way in which people and goods move more sustainable. Though pavements are one of the key components of road transportation networks and logistics systems, they are usually overlooked in systemic sustainability analyses. READ MORE

3. Investigation of the structural response of pavements in cold region using instrumented test site data
Abstract : The structural behaviour of pavement structures is known to be affected by the traffic-related loading and by the ambient factors to which the structure is subjected. A new mechanistic-empirical (M-E) pavement design method is under development in Sweden with the main purpose to adequately predict pavement structural response and performance. READ MORE

4. Concrete pavements’ repair techniques and numerical assessment of dowel bar load transfer efficiency
Abstract : Concrete pavements are a suitable alternative for high-traffic volume roads, concentrated loads and roads exposed to severe weather conditions. In Sweden, among other reasons, the scarcity of concrete pavements is attributed to the need for more national knowledge and expertise in the field. READ MORE

5. Validation of heavy vehicle loading responses and temperature predictions in flexible pavements using field data
Abstract : It is well established that both traffic-related loading and environmental conditions influence the structural behaviour of pavements. Pavement design methods aim to consider the effect of traffic loading and environmental variables on pavement structure, foresee their changes during the lifetime of the pavement and predict the resulting distresses and pavement life.
