Ahmed B, Rana M M, Hossen M T, & Islam M R. (2016). Cost Effective Design of Rigid Pavement Using Tiles Dust. Proceedings of the 1st Civil Engineering Summit-2016, 23-27 November, 2016, BUET, Bangladesh. Paper ID. TE-107. ISBN: 978-984-34-1512-7, pp. TE-107.

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

Khan S, Nagabhushana M N, Tiwari D, & Jain P K. (2014). Comparative analysis of bituminous overlay design thickness using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and Benkelman beam deflection (BBD) method, 3rd Conference of Transportation Research Group, Kolkata, India.

Abstract: The flexible pavement is the most sought pavement in many countries like U.S, India etc mainly because of ease and low initial cost of construction and maintenance as compared to a concrete pavement. Due to the distresses caused in flexible pavements, it requires routine and periodic maintenance and strengthening in the form of added thickness.… View More

Khan S, Nagabhushana M N, Tiwari D, & Jain P K. (2015). Effect of Higher axle load on the flexible pavement performance in India using Heavy Vehicle Simulator, International Conference on Road and Airfield Pavement, Dallian, China

Abstract: With the current growth of infrastructure in India, traffic growth is very high, especially transportation of goods and services have also increased considerably in many fold and so the commercial vehicles. The current flexible pavement structure has been designed with a standard axle load of 80 kN and a tyre pressure of 560 kPA, as per Indian Road Congress-37, but numerous field studies conducted by CSIR-CRRI have shown that the trucks with standard and higher axles were found to be carrying more load than designated for them.… View More
