Crumb rubber (CR) obtained from end-of-life tyres (ELT) has gained significant attention in the sustainable design of asphalt pavements in recent years, showing a promising perspective in the enhancement of pavement performance related to its structural and functional properties. Existing research on CR influence on pavement performance mostly focu...
Pavement surface textures obtained by a photogrammetry-based method for data acquisition and analysis are employed to investigate if related roughness descriptors are comparable to the frictional performance evaluated by finite element analysis. Pavement surface profiles are obtained from 3D digital surface models created with Close-Range Orthogona...
The importance of skid resistance performance assessment in pavement engineering and management is crucial due to its direct influence on road safety features. This paper provides a new approach to skid resistance predictive model definition based on experimentally obtained texture roughness parameters. The originally developed methodology is based...
We have developed a model for estimating the parameters of viscous materials from indirect tensile tests for asphalt. This is a simple Burger nonlinear rheological two-cell model or standard model. At the same time, we begin to develop a more versatile and complex multi-cell model. The simple model is validated using experimental load-displacement...
Image analysis methods are recently in use for asphalt pavement surface texture characterization and analysis in terms of pavement friction performance assesment. These methods enable more detailed description of texture properties at both micro and macro texture levels which are important for friction realization as they result in a digital repres...
Pavement surface texture is one of the prevailing factors for friction realization on pavement surfaces. In this paper, an overview of pavement texture properties related to the pavement frictional response is given. Image analysis methods used for pavement texture characterization are thoroughly analyzed together with their potential for the estab...
Cement bound base courses increase pavement bearing capacity and resistance to detrimental effects of frost along with being a good base for surface courses. Due to its stiffness, cement bound base courses reduce vertical deflections and tensile stress in asphalt layers thus reducing fatigue and appearance of alligator cracks in asphalt. But, in or...
Porous asphalt is a bituminous material prepared in such a manner that it has a very high content of interconnected voids that allow passage of water and air in order to provide the compacted mixture with better drainage and noise reducing characteristic. The analysis of available regulations and scientific literature shows that the national standa...
Prometno-prostorno planiranje je kontinuirani postupak kojeg je potrebno neprestano unaprjeđivati na temelju analize pokazatelja funkcioniranja sustava. Prema saznanju autora, prilikom planiranja prostora Kampusa Sveučilišta u Rijeci, a ni u vremenu korištenja, nisu detaljno analizirani prometni pokazatelji u svrhu osiguranja više razine pristupačn...
Ocjena strukturalnog stanja kolnika definira ukupnu nosivost kolnika, a određuje se kroz ocjenu mehaničkih svojstava slojeva kolničke konstrukcije. Defleksija predstavlja elastičnu deformaciju kolničke konstrukcije i jedan je od važnih pokazatelja strukturalne nosivosti kolnika. Iznos defleksije moguće je utvrditi teorijski, korištenjem zakonitosti...
Pavement skid resistance is one of determining road features that contributes to traffic safety. Several influencing factors govern the skid resistance, amongst which the pavement surface texture is the one that could be designed and controlled by the pavement engineers. Pavement surface texture is classified into four categories, where microtextur...
Porous asphalt is type of open graded bituminous mixture for wearing courses. The reasons for its recent frequent usage as well as increase of research interest are the environmental benefits for example storm water management. However, there are some kinds of defects which can provoke deterioration of this type of pavement surface before expected...

This paper analyzes the traffic component of the organization and functioning of three settlements in Rijeka, built on urban planning standards in early 60s (Turnić), late 60s (Vojak), and the late 70s and 80s of the 20th century (Srdoči). In order to study the possibilities for adaptation of these settlements to new spatial traffic standards and p...
Maneuvering distance and stopping sight distance are important traffic safety elements at an at-grade intersection. Croatian official standard for sight distance calculation (HRN.U.C4.050) dates from 1990. This regulation treats sight distance values in a very simplified way. The mentioned regulation seems to be outdated since various researches of...
Pavement surface properties measurements are necessary to conduct systematically during the road exploitation in order to ensure the necessary conditions for safe and comfortable driving. Measurement devices from Transportation Laboratory of Faculty of Civil Engineering in Rijeka were used for preliminary investigation of pavement surface friction...
