Abstract: Rutting, one of the main failures in flexible pavements, is the result of permanent deformation aggregation in pavement layers under traffic loading. Rutting decreases the life of the pavement, and, by influencing control ...

Abstract: Degradation of ballast aggregate subjected to applied train loads can adversely influence the performance of ballasted railway tracks. Meanwhile, replacement of degraded aggregate with fresh material can engender some ...

Abstract: Rutting is one of the most important distresses in asphalt mixed pavement. As for flexible pavements, stone matrix asphalt is the best option for reducing this failure despite its demerits, e.g., the risk of draining ...

Abstract: Several factors, including constituents, pavement structure geometry, and environmental conditions, influence the low-temperature performance of hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Moisture is a critical factor related to environmental ...

Abstract: The free energy of asphalt cohesion and of adhesion at the interface of the asphalt binder and aggregate are the main parameters that affect mix asphalt fatigue failure in dry and wet conditions. The free energy of cohesion ...
