Abstract: Cracking coalescence is the linking process of multiple cracks; the ordinary differential and partial differential equations cannot be solved at the crack coalescence positions. To solve these shortcomings, the asphalt ...

Abstract: The traditional mechanical equipment/chemical salt approach for pavement snow/ice removal is costly and may cause serious environmental pollution problems. To facilitate the pavement snow/ice melting in a more economical ...

Abstract: Dynamic shear modulus of an asphalt mastic has a remarkable effect on the mechanical performance of an asphalt pavement, and particulate composite micromechanical models are proven to be suitable for the prediction of ...

Abstract: As one of the most important aromatic renewable natural resources, lignin has the potential to improve the high-temperature rheological properties and antiaging properties of asphalt. However, it will adversely harden the ...

Abstract: Accurate characterization of field aging of asphalt pavement is critical to precisely assessing its in-service performance. However, most of the traditional test/predictive methods either cannot fully capture the field ...
