Ali A, Hossain K, Swarna S T, Hussein A, Dhasmana H. (2018). Towards Development of PCI and IRI models for road networks in the City of St. John’s, Newfoundland Canada. American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) International Conference on Highway Pavements and Airfield Technology. Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Abstract:  Forecasting of pavement condition and roughness is essential for optimization of pavement rehabilitation and treatment programs. This paper develops and presents a new set of Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and International Roughness Index (IRI) model for road networks in the city of St.… View More

Khan S, Nagabhushana M N, Vittal UK. (2017). Use of Fly Ash in Low Volume Road, World Road Meeting, International Road Federation, New Delhi.

Abstract: Coal-based thermal power plants all over the world face serious problems of handling and disposal of the ash produced. The high ash content (30–50%) of the coal in India makes this problem complex. At present, about 145 thermal power stations in India produce nearly 184 million(quantity) tonnes of coal ash per annum (CEA,2015).… View More

Nagabhushana M N, Khan S, Mittal A, & Tiwari D. (2016). Potential Benefits of APTF for Evaluation of Flexible Pavement for Its Permanent Deformation Behaviour. In The Roles of Accelerated Pavement Testing in Pavement Sustainability (pp. 227-239). Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-42797-3_15

Abstract: More than 95 % of road network in India is made up of flexible pavement, especially due to the relative lesser initial cost, ease of construction and maintenance. The design of flexible pavement in India is done with criteria of load associated fatigue cracking and permanent deformation (rutting).… View More

Khan S, Nagabhushana M N, Tiwari D, & Jain P K. (2016). Comparison of Uni and Bi-directional Load Induced Rutting in Flexible Pavement with Accelerated Pavement Testing Facility (APTF). Transportation Research Procedia. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trpro.2016.11.106

Abstract: The Indian Road Network is the second largest in the world after U.S. and flexible pavement is the most sought pavement in India. In fact, majority of roads in India (more then 90 %) are flexible pavement due to ease of construction and initial cost of construction.… View More

Ahmed B, Hossen M T, Rana M M, & Islam M R. (2016). Cost Effective Design of Rigid Pavement Using Used Foundry Sand. 3rd International Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering (ICACE-2016). 21-23 December, 2016, CUET, Bangladesh. ISSN: 978-984-34-1662-9, Paper ID: G-1415, pp.115-116.

Abstract: Concrete is the most undisputable material being used in infrastructure development throughout the world. The reduction in the cost of concrete production has resulted in an increased need to find new alternative materials. The aim of the study is to minimize the cost of concrete pavement.… View More

Rana M M, & Hasan A S M Z. (2016). An Exact Solution of Post-buckled Nonlinear Beam on an Elastic Foundation. 3rd International Conference on Advances in Civil Engineering (ICACE-2016). 21-23 December, 2016, CUET, Bangladesh.ISSN: 978-984-34-1662-9, Paper ID: G-1415, pp.115-116.

Abstract: This paper is concerned with buckling problem of flexible beams on an elasticfoundation for free vibration. An exact solution for the post-buckled geometric nonlinear beam with clamed-clamed and clamed-hinged end conditions are presented in this paper. The cubic nonlinearity of the governing equation of motion is induced due to the mid-plane stretching, which is considered in the analysis.… View More

Abstract: Concrete is the most undisputable material being used in infrastructure development throughout the world. Natural sand is a prime material used for the preparation of concrete. The reduction in the sources of natural sand and in the cost of concrete production has resulted in the increased need to find new alternative materials to replace river sand, so that excess river erosion is prevented and high strength concrete is obtained at lower cost.… View More

Sobhan A, & Rana M M. (2017). Characterization of Bituminous Mixes Using Waste Concrete Aggregate. International Conference on Planning, Architecture and Civil Engineering (ICPACE-2017), 09-11 February, 2017, RUET, Bangladesh. Paper ID: C-064, pp.566-571. (Electronic proceedings). ISBN: 978-984-34-2154-8, pp. 35.

Abstract: Waste concrete aggregates (WCA) are produced by crushing demolished concrete elements. The lightweight, porous cement mortar attached to WCA causes crushed concrete aggregates to have a lower specific gravity and higher water absorption than comparatively sized fresh aggregates. Due to the booming of real estate business, the amount of waste generation is increasing day by day in Bangladesh.… View More
