Abstract: The primary of this paper is to evaluate the potential of shear failure in asphalt pavement with the primary focus on the layer interface debonding. To fulfill this objective, a three-dimensional (3D) finite-element (FE) ...

Abstract: This work improved the low-temperature rheological properties of asphalt modified with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) using an acid modifier, namely polyphosphoric acid (PPA), and investigated the microstructural changes ...

Abstract: The mechanism of interlayer bonding and its relationship with interface morphology in asphalt pavement is not well understood yet. This study aims at investigating the effect of interface morphology on the interlayer bonding ...

Abstract: The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of pore structure on acoustic absorption of porous asphalt concrete (PAC) and to obtain the optimum pore structure for achieving the maximum acoustic absorption capacity. ...

Abstract: The current research on the moisture diffusion behavior in asphalt mostly discusses static water without considering dynamic pore water. In this paper, Fick, Two-stage, and Langmuir moisture diffusion models were used to ...

Abstract: Highway traffic loads and environmental conditions, including temperature and moisture at the layer interface, could cause debonding or delamination between adjacent asphalt pavement layers in tensile, shear, or mixed-mode ...
