Abstract: The temperature profile within the asphalt layer of a flexible pavement plays an important role in the design of hot-mix asphalt and in the performance models of asphalt concrete materials such as low-temperature cracking ...

Abstract: A pavement temperature profile is indispensable for analyzing and interpreting falling weight deflectometer (FWD) testing data. This paper presents a simple analytical approach to rapidly predicting the transient temperature ...

Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm to predict one-dimensional (1D) temperature profiles in a multilayered pavement system on the basis of measured surface temperature data. The model inputs are pavement layer thicknesses, ...

Abstract: The dynamic sizing optimization problem of a truss structure is studied for its weight minimization with a constraint of the frequency response function (FRF) over a certain frequency bandwidth. First, a discrete representation ...

Abstract: The prediction models of penetration resistances of spudcan footings on sand overlying clay have been established by extensive centrifuge tests and large-deformation numerical simulations. However, most existing models ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method of quantifying the air-void distribution and cracking characters through X-ray computed tomography. Five mixtures are analyzed for air-void distribution, and two of them are tested for cracking ...

Abstract: To construct a more durable long-life asphalt pavement with semi-rigid base, we combine different technical characteristics of long-life asphalt pavements reported at home and abroad. Different interlayer bonding conditions ...

Abstract: To alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of urban and rural construction land and improve the utilization efficiency of rural homesteads, the state has issued policies to guide villagers withdrawing their ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical solution for the prediction of the time-dependent one-dimensional temperature profile in an
