Abstract: This study describes an experimental investigation of the methylene blue test to determine the methylene blue value (MBV) and quantitatively generate the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) for unbound aggregate material ...

Abstract: An improved approach is proposed here for searching the global noncircular critical slip surface in a slope with soil variability. To avoid the local minimum, the proposed approach combines a readily available optimization ...

Abstract: Fatigue life is a key factor for designing an asphalt pavement, which is usually determined by a fatigue test with a failure criterion. Most of the existing criteria lack a direct identification of fatigue failure as the ...

Abstract: This study aims at developing an accurate and efficient methodology to estimate the resilient modulus of unbound aggregates. First, a new resilient modulus model is proposed to incorporate the moisture dependence of the ...

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of additional antistrip additives on the durability and moisture susceptibility of granite-based open-graded friction course, referred to as FC-5 asphalt mixture. The laboratory ...
