Abstract: To increase freight efficiency, trucks are allowed to transport heavier loads without adding extra axles. The impact of this practice on infrastructure damage needs to be evaluated. This involves evaluating the fatigue ...

Abstract: A nonlocal damage model is proposed to predict the behavior of pavement fatigue cracking. This constitutive relation has been implemented in a finite-element code, along with a self-adaptive jump-in-cycle procedure for ...
