Dynamic Behavior in Transition Zones and Long-Term Railway Track Performance
Transition zones between embankments and bridges or tunnels are examples of critical assets of the railway infrastructure. These locations often exhibit higher degradations rates, mostly due to the development of differential settlements, which amplify the dynamic train-track interaction, thus further accelerating the development of settlements and deteriorating track components and vehicles. Despite the technical and scientific interest in predicting the long-term behavior of transition zones, few studies have been able to develop a robust approach that could accurately simulate this complex structural response. To address this topic, this work presents a three-dimensional finite element (3D FEM) approach to simulate the long-term behavior of railway tracks at transition zones. The approach considers both plastic deformation of the ballast layer using a high-cycle strain accumulation model and the non-linearity of the dynamic vehicle-track interaction that results from the evolution of the deformed states of the track itself. The results shed some light into the behavior of transition zones and evidence the complex long-term response of this structures and its interdependency with the transient response of the train-track interaction. Aspects that are critical when assessing the performance of these systems are analyzed in detail, which might be of relevance for researchers and practitioners in the design, construction, and maintenance processes.

Geomechanical assessment of an inert steel slag aggregate as an alternative ballast material for heavy haul rail tracks
The geomechanical behaviour of railway ballast is a key aspect in the performance of ballasted tracks, mainly under increased axle loads and/or train speeds. Recently, and driven by the circular economy paradigm, some researchers have evaluated the use of alternative ballast materials as replacement for traditional natural crushed rocks. This work presents a comparison between the geomechanical behaviour of a granite aggregate and the one of an electrical arc furnace steel slag aggregate, with the trade designation of

Performance Assessment of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in Road Surface Mixtures
Considerable amounts of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) are produced every year,as the road network requires maintenance to ensure the safety and comfort of its users. RAP is a 100%recyclable material and a useful fit to be re-introduced into another cycle without downgrading itsfunctionality. Despite the current knowledge about the benefits associated with RAP use, it is not yetlargely applied in several countries. This paper aims to validate, on the basis of both short- and longtermmechanical behaviours, the application of a bituminous mixture with a high RAP incorporationrate (75%) in road pavement wearing courses. A crude tall oil rejuvenator was used. Both short- andlong-term oven ageing procedures were employed to simulate the ageing that occurs during mixtureproduction and in-service life, respectively. The tests for validating the RAP mixture as an alternativesolution comprised stiffness, resistance to fatigue, permanent deformation, and determination ofthe water sensitivity. Furthermore, the RAP bitumen mobilisation degree was evaluated and amixing protocol was established. In comparison with virgin bituminous mixtures, it was found that,in general, the high RAP mixtures presented similar or better behaviour. The ageing process hada hardening effect namely in terms of stiffness and resistance to permanent deformation, withoutsignificant effects on the resistance to fatigue and water damage.

Subgrade reinforcement of old railway tracks using short soil
The subgrade of old railway tracks often exhibits poor geotechnical behaviour, particularly regarding the soils on which the ballast layer rests. Such poor behaviour implies significant maintenance costs and possession times. The reinforcement of subgrade soils by injection of binders may mitigate these malfunctions, but previous applications showed some limitations, and the quality of the results depends on many factors. Herein, the authors present some studies on the development of a subgrade reinforcement method, which minimises the impact on train operation, by using short soil

Abrasion evolution of steel furnace slag aggregate for railway ballast: 3D morphology analysis of scanned particles by close-range photogrammetry
Electric Arc Furnace steel slag aggregate has potential for wider application in railway infrastructures. Nonetheless, its use in ballast layers, as an alternative to natural crushed rock, is often restricted, which is not consistent with the sustainable construction paradigm. To characterise the morphology and performance of this material, quantitative analyses were conducted on the abrasion and 3D morphology evolution of particles by micro-Deval testing. Slag particles showed higher angularity and surface texture indices than natural granite; retained these characteristics longer; and yielded comparable or lower surface wear. These findings support the potential use of slag aggregate as an alternative ballast material.

Transfer Learning for Pavement Performance Prediction
Accurate pavement performance prediction models are essential to ensure optimal allocation of resources in maintenance management. These models are developed using inventory and monitoring data regarding pavement structure, climate, traffic, and condition. However, numerous road agencies have limited pavement data. Due to the inexistence of historical data, data collection frequency, and/or quality issues, the amount of data available for the development of performance models is reduced. As a result, the resource allocation process is significantly undermined. This paper proposes a transfer learning approach to develop pavement performance prediction models in limited data contexts. The proposed transfer learning approach is based on a boosting algorithm. In particular, a modified version of the popular TrAdaBoost learning algorithm was used.To test the proposed transfer learning approach, a case study was developed using data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database and from the Portuguese road administration database. The results of this work show that it is possible to develop accurate performance prediction models in limited data contexts when a transfer learning approach is applied. All the models resulting from this approach outperformed baseline models, especially in what regards long-term forecasts. The results also showed that the transfer learning models perform consistently over different time frames, with minor performance losses from one-step to multi-step forecasts. The findings of this study should be of interest to road agencies facing limited data contexts and aiming to develop accurate prediction models that can improve their pavement management practice.

Development of a Multi Criteria Decision Analysis Model for Pavement Maintenance at the Network Level: Application of the MACBETH Approach
This paper proposes the application of the MACBETH approach for the development ofa multi criteria value model to enable the prioritization of maintenance and rehabilitationinterventions in the pavements of road networks according to technical, economic,and social aspects. A case-study design considering the Portuguese network wasundertaken to illustrate the proposed approach. Using an interactive structuring processdeveloped with the decision-maker, a set of five evaluation criteria related to maintenancecosts, traffic, pavement condition, safety, and social equity were defined. The MACBETHapproach was then used to build value functions and establish relative weightsfor the criteria. An application of the resulting model was made to a portfolio ofpossible intervention projects, prioritizing them according to the principle of benefit/costmaximization. The case-study demonstrated the application of the MACBETH approachand its suitability to solve the decision-making problem, thus proving the usefulness ofthis approach for road agencies with pavement management responsibilities.

ESTADO DA ARTE IBERO-BRASILEIRA SOBRE A APLICAÇÃO DE AGREGADOS DE ESCÓRIAS DE ACIARIA EM MISTURAS BETUMINOSAS
Na Europa, e de uma forma geral por todo o mundo, existe uma grande procura de agregados para a construção civil, principalmente para a construção de estradas. Existe também uma preocupação crescente com a conservação dos recursos naturais e com o ambiente, que tem levado à procura e utilização de agregados secundários, nomeadamente resíduos/subprodutos industriais cujas propriedades químicas, físicas, mecânicas e ambientais viabilizam a substituição dos agregados naturais, como é o caso desde há longa data dos agregados de escórias de aciaria. As escórias de aciaria são resíduos/subprodutos inevitáveis do fabrico do aço, os quais após um processamento adequado constituem agregados artificiais de excelente qualidade, segundo váriosautores, para o fabrico de misturas betuminosas a aplicar em camadas de pavimentos rodoviários.A par do crescimento da indústria do aço a nível mundial, encontra-se assim a produção de escórias de aciaria e a necessidade de se identificarem soluções para o seu aproveitamento. A sua utilização na construção de estradas, como material alternativo aos agregados naturais é já há algumas décadas a sua principal aplicaçãoem vários países, constituindo uma alternativa relativamente abundante e promissora.Este artigo caracteriza o estado do conhecimento na Península Ibérica e no Brasil, relativamente ao uso de escórias de aciaria (em particular, de forno de arco elétrico) em misturas betuminosas para pavimentos rodoviários.

A proposal for molding of reduced scale ballast samples for repeated load triaxial tests
Considering the high costs involved in laboratory analysis of rail ballast geomechanical behaviour, several researchers have been discussing the possibility of using reduced scale samples. This paper presents a method for molding and densify reduced scale ballast samples in a ratio of 1:2,5 for cyclic triaxial tests as an alternative to fresh ballast material, with the purpose to achieve densify levels compatible with the compaction levels of railway lines in service. The results reveal that the the moulded specimens have kept the integrity of the latex membrane and presented an initial void ratio close to those obtained by dynamic or vibratory compaction methods found in technical literature. Additionally these specimens have been tested in monotonic triaxial tests and have revealed a dilatant behavior, as should be expected in materials with a good compaction level.

Machine learning for pavement frictionpPrediction using Scikit-Learn
During the last decades, the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been taking place in several technical and scientific areas. Despite its success, AI applications to solve real-life problems in pavement engineering are far from reaching its potential. In this paper, a Python machine learning library, scikitlearn, is used to predict asphalt pavement friction. Using data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database, 113 different sections of asphalt concrete pavement, spread all over the United States, were selected. Two machine learning models were built from these data to predict friction, one based on linear regression and the other on regularized regression with lasso. Both models showed to be feasible and perform similarly. According to the results, initial friction plays an essential role in the way friction evolves over time. The results of this study also showed that scikit-learn can be a versatile tool to solve pavement engineering problems. By applying machine learning methods to predict asphalt pavements friction, this paper emphasizes how theory and practice can be effectively coupled to solve real-life problems in contemporary transportation.

Studies on the structural reinforcement of railway platforms in operation.
The rehabilitation of old railway lines is a complex, costly and long process, causing train service delays and interruptions. Trackbed reinforcement through injection of binders without removing track elements can minimise this problem. Thus, a research project is underway in Portugal to contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges that these reinforcement techniques imply and to develop an industrial reinforcement using short columns. This work presents preliminary results of the laboratorial and numerical studies regarding the characterisation of soil-binder mixtures and the dynamic train-track interaction. The results seem promising though further studies are necessary.

A cal no tratamento de materiais para a construção e reabilitação de infraestruturas de transporte
A cal aérea pode desempenhar um importante papel no tratamento de solos no âmbito das obras de infraestruturas de transporte. A adição de cal ao solo, em quantidades adequadas, em particular quando este possui uma elevada percentagem de partículas finas e exibe um teor em água relativamente elevado, pode melhorar de forma significativa as suas características. A utilização desta técnica possibilita a aplicação em terraplenagens de materiais existentes nos locais das obras que são impróprios no seu estado natural, evitando a sua substituição por outros com melhores características, os quais poderão ser difíceis de encontrar. Desta forma, poderá haver poupança em termos económicos, relacionada com a aquisição e transporte de materiais, diminuição dos tempos de execução das obras e redução de impactos, quer ambientais quer sobre o património construído. Neste trabalho discutem-se aspetos da aplicação de solos tratados com cal, no âmbito da construção e reabilitação de infraestruturas de transporte.

Case Study of an Inert Steel Aggregate in Road Construction: Characterization and Monitoring of the Structural Behaviour
The use of alternative materials, in particular industrial by-products and waste materials, in the construction oftransport infrastructures and geotechnical works, has been promoted across the world. Nonetheless, considering that, in most situations, the application of some of these materials is fairly recent, little information is available on the long-term performance of the infrastructures in which they were used. This work mentions some characteristics of the Inert Steel Aggregate for Construction (ISAC). It presents some results related to the evolution in the surface characteristics and the structural behaviour of a field trial built on a road section in Portugal. ISAC was used in the embankments and pavement layers. The visual inspection, the results of the mechanical tests performed, and the values of the settlements measured on the surface markings about ten years after the section is open to traffic led to conclude that the pavement in the zone where ISAC was used as a construction material is, in general, in a better condition and presents better structural performance than the adjacent areas built with natural materials. The embankment's maximum settlements in the areas with ISAC were similar to the ones observed in the adjacent areas.

Modelação numérica avançada do comportamento estrutural de vias-férreas
A via férrea balastrada é uma estrutura relativamente simples, mas exibe um comportamento complexo, nomeadamente devido às distintas solicitações dinâmicas a que está sujeita, e à forma como se comportam e interagem os seus diversos elementos. O método dos elementos finitos é particularmente adequado à análise do funcionamento destas estruturas, possibilitando a modelação das ações e a utilização de modelos constitutivos avançados para os diversos materiais que constituem o sistema, permitindo considerar a variação das características físicas e geométricas no espaço. Neste capítulo descreve-se e demonstra-se a aplicação de uma ferramenta de modelação numérica tridimensional, concebida especificamente para o cálculo da resposta dinâmica da via-férrea, cujo desenvolvimento, ao longo dos últimos anos, tem tido a contribuição dos autores. Para além da apresentação e validação da ferramenta de modelação, são apresentados estudos relativos à análise do comportamento da via em situações particulares.

Técnicas de machine learning em sistemas de gestão de pavimentos
A utilização de machine learning tem despertado a curiosidade e o interesse do meio académico e empresarial. Com efeito, a aplicação de machine learning, baseada em técnicas capazes de aprender com os dados, tem sido efetuada com sucesso em diversos contextos. Este sucesso é particularmente evidente nas áreas que utilizam grandes volumes de dados e que procuram obter informação que permita alimentar modelos de previsão.Na área dos Transportes, para além da resolução de questões relacionadas com a mobilidade, é expectável que a aplicação de técnicas de machine learning venha a ser cada vez mais frequente em questões relacionadas com a gestão de infraestruturas, em particular no estabelecimento de modelos de previsão do comportamento.Neste capítulo procura-se evidenciar o potencial da aplicação de machine learning em sistemas de gestão de pavimentos, através da descrição de alguns dos trabalhos desenvolvidos pelos autores neste domínio, essencialmente relacionados com a aplicação de machine learning no desenvolvimento de modelos de previsão do desempenho dos pavimentos, uma das temáticas essenciais dos sistemas de gestão de pavimentos.

Análise comparada de um agregado de escória de aciaria como material alternativo para lastro de vias férreas do tipo heavy haul por meio de ensaios triaxiais
Este artigo apresenta uma etapa de uma pesquisa mais abrangente que está em andamento na Universidade do Porto, no âmbito do grupo de pesquisa Construct-Geo, que visa avaliar os aspectos geomecânicos de materiais alternativos para uso como camada de lastro em vias férreas do tipo heavy haul. São apresentados resultados de ensaios triaxiais monotônicos e cíclicos conduzidos em corpos de prova de 150 mm de diâmetro por 300 mm de altura, em escala reduzida numa proporção de 1:2,5 em relação à granulometriade lastro padrão AREMA N. 24. Analisou-se um agregado de escória de aciaria, quimicamente e ambientalmente, inerte comparativamente a um agregado de granito, relativamente à resistência e à deformabilidade. Os ensaios cíclicos foram conduzidos em dois escalões de carga de 500.000 ciclos, sendo cada escalão compatível com o carregamento imposto por vias do tipo heavy haul com, respectivamente,32,5 toneladas/eixo e 40 toneladas/eixo. Os resultados mostraram que o lastro de escória de aciaria apresentou parâmetros de resistência superiores comparativamente ao lastro de granito e um melhor comportamento quanto à deformabilidade, expresso por maiores valores de módulo de resiliência, menoresíndices de quebra e degradação de partículas e uma maior tendência de estabilização das deformações plásticas, fenômeno conhecido como shakedown e que também foi investigado.

Current state of the use of recycled materials in geotechnical works in Portugal
The reuse of recycled materials in geotechnical works has awakened a growing interest in the last few years in Portugal. A committee (GT-VROG) within the Portuguese Geotechnical Society (SPG) was created recently for analysing the current state of this kind of use and for promoting it nationwide. As part of the activities of the group, a national survey within producers of waste materials and potential users in geotechnical works was carried out, and a national seminar was organised within the framework of the activities of the TC-3 of the ISSMGE, in order to discuss the present situation in the country and the best ways to develop the reuse of this kind of materials in geotechnical applications. The seminar had the participation of representatives of the different entities interested on the subject (producers, users, administration and research centres), as well as of invited foreign specialists from other European countries. Taking advantage of the results of these activities, the current state of the use of recycled materials in geotechnical works in Portugal is briefly presented and analysed next.

A New Approach for the Maintenance Management of Transportation Infrastructures using Machine Learning
Transportation infrastructures are vital to our society. These infrastructures naturally tend to deteriorate over time. A set of activities is then required to manage existing assets in accordance with sound management principles. These activities are usually integrated into systems that manage infrastructures according to technical, social and economic aspects. This research aims to examine the potential of applying machine learning techniques to current transportation infrastructure management systems. Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence enabling systems to automatically learn and improve from experience (data), arriving at solutions not explicitly programmed. Powered by algorithms that can learn from data, machine learning leads to efficient and effective systems that improve over time. Over the last few years, the application of machine learning has transformed several industries and could do so for transportation infrastructure as well.To achieve the research objectives, a set of studies was performed. Each of these studies had a specific objective, the set of which can be expressed as follows: to define combined performance indicators for pavement condition assessment using machine learning; to develop machine learning models for pavement performance prediction; to formulate machine learning solutions to overcome pavement data issues, such as missing data; to integrate machine learning techniques into decision support systems for pavement maintenance management. Together these studies explored the development of machine learning applications for solving some standard pavement management problems, providing insights into the application of machine learning to transportation infrastructure management systems. The studies successfully demonstrated the potential of machine learning applications for pavement management systems. It showed that machine learning is applicable to various transportation asset management problems, such as condition assessment, performance prediction, and decision support, and that it is able to outperform some of the analytical techniques currently used. Overall, this research work finds that machine learning is a promising tool for transportation infrastructure management systems.

Deformações permanentes de misturas betuminosas em pavimentos rodoviários
Nas últimas décadas tem vindo a verificar-se, em Portugal bem como no resto do mundo, umacentuado crescimento do volume de tráfego rodoviário e das cargas transportadas pelos veículospesados. Tem-se observado, igualmente, um aumento das exigências funcionais, relacionadas com asegurança e conforto do utente das infra-estruturas, a par das preocupações de carácter ambiental, oque conduz à necessidade de pavimentos rodoviários cada vez mais resistentes e duráveis.Consequentemente, tem-se vindo a recorrer a soluções de pavimentação que envolvem maioresespessuras de camadas betuminosas o que implica uma maior parcela de contribuição docomportamento deste tipo de materiais no desempenho das estruturas de pavimentos. Daqui decorre,entre outros aspectos, uma crescente preocupação com a deformação permanente deste tipo demateriais. Esta situação é também sentida em diversos países, nomeadamente nos países europeus,no Canadá e nos Estados Unidos da América.O presente trabalho tem como objectivo contribuir para um melhor conhecimento do comportamentoà deformação permanente de misturas betuminosas aplicadas em camadas de desgaste depavimentos rodoviários, possibilitando o estabelecimento de metodologias e de critérios de avaliação,que conduzam à selecção de materiais adequados às exigências actuais. Como principais aspectosabordados referem-se a caracterização do comportamento viscoelástico destes materiais, através daexecução e interpretação de ensaios laboratoriais com aplicação de cargas repetidas, que simulemas condições observadas in situ, e a modelação do comportamento à deformação permanente dasmisturas.É analisado o fenómeno da deformação permanente, bem como a sua forma de manifestação naestrutura do pavimento

CEDR Contractor Report 2016-1. Call 2012: Road owners adapting to Climate Change ROADAPT and CliPDaR projects
Executive SummaryInfrastructure is the backbone of our society. Citizens, companies and governments have come to rely on and expect uninterrupted availability of the road network. Climate change is an important topic within the context of designing, maintaining and operating traffic networks. Most transport infrastructure is intended to be available (in service) to the public for several decades. The life cycles of assets in transport are long enough to take the full strain that comes with climate change; however, climate impact is experienced on a small scale. Crops are destroyed by floods, timber is felled by heavy storms and infrastructure is devastated by various kinds of extreme events. The adaptation of road networks to a changing climate is one of the important issues that road authorities have begun to address and that needs to be further continued in the near future.The main objective of the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) Call 2012

NOVAS SOLUÇÕES DE SUPERSTRUTURA DE VIA PARA A ALTA VELOCIDADE FERROVIÁRIA - Comparação com a via balastrada tradicional
As crescentes exigências impostas ao transporte ferroviário e a necessidade de o tornar num sistemade transporte mais competitivo, têm levado ao desenvolvimento de novas soluções de via-férrea.Estas novas soluções constituem inovações tecnológicas de via-férrea que diferem da via balastradatradicional na utilização de diferentes materiais e métodos construtivos. Apostam fortemente naredução da necessidade de conservação e renovação da via, o que se traduz na diminuição doscustos associados à sua operação, assim como no aumento da disponibilidade da linha.Assim, estas soluções apresentam uma melhor resposta a velocidades de circulação cada vez maiselevadas e a maiores volumes de tráfego, que tendem a conduzir a maior deterioração da via e aconsequentes maiores custos de conservação e renovação. Em comparação com a via tradicional,estas soluções podem ser mais vantajosas, no que se refere à segurança, a aspectos ambientais, àgestão da operação e a custos globais, quando se considera o ciclo de vida da infra-estrutura.Embora estas tecnologias tenham vindo a ser testadas e aplicadas em alguns países, desde há váriasdécadas, em particular no Japão, só mais recentemente diversos países demonstraram especialinteresse pela sua aplicação. Face a estas vantagens, tem-se verificado actualmente uma crescentetendência para a adopção destas novas soluções, sobretudo para as linhas de alta velocidade,particularmente na Europa e Ásia Oriental.Dentro deste contexto, e tendo em conta a previsível integração de Portugal na Rede Europeia de AltaVelocidade, desenvolveu-se o presente estudo com o objectivo de apresentar diversas soluções devia-férrea que estão disponíveis e compará-las com a solução tradicional de via balastrada.O estudo incide na descrição de concepções de via-férrea não tradicionais, como a via sem balastro ea via de apoio misto, fazendo-se especial referência às principais vantagens e desvantagens da viasem balastro, face à solução tradicional de via balastrada, e à experiência da sua aplicação.Apresenta-se ainda uma síntese da situação actual da aplicação destas novas soluções em paísesque apostaram fortemente nas redes de alta velocidade.Do estudo desenvolvido conclui-se que, para novas linhas de alta velocidade, estas soluções podemser bastante atractivas, como alternativa à via balastrada tradicional.Os autores agradecem a todas as entidades e pessoas a título individual a autorização expressa paraa publicação das ilustrações apresentadas neste estudo, encontrando-se estas devidamentereferenciadas.
