Abstract: A viscoelastic solution of the diametral compression of short cylinders has recently been presented by Zhang et al. The solution is based on Hondros's elastic solution and applies to any load history. In this paper, the ...

Abstract: The diametral compression of short cylinders is generally accepted as the convenient and accurate test method for evaluating the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete mixtures. In particular, the test serves to determine ...

Abstract: There is ample evidence based on uniaxial (unconfined) compression that asphalt concrete exhibits behavior that depends on the loading or straining rate. This paper describes the results of an experimental program aimed ...
