Cover Story: Modern roads provide us with a comfortable and safe ride to our destinations. Due to increasing traffic demands and maximum allowable loads, road authorities should also pay attention to the structural soundness of road pavements while looking for cost-effective and timely maintenance or minor rehabilitation measures. This implies the need for a sustainable pavement preservation strategy that includes an optimal pavement condition assessment to support appropriate decisions. To address this need, this study proposes an approach to integrate nondestructive testing (NDT) and field data to predict the long-term performance of pavements. Appropriate mechanistic models that account for the nature of asphalt materials are activated to increase the accuracy of analysis results for protecting and extending pavement life. View this paper
