Abstract: Transverse cracking is one of the major distresses of asphalt pavements with a semirigid base. After subjected to the loading, aging, and other factors, the materials properties of in-service asphalt pavements are quite ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional finite-element simulation consumes less computational resources and has higher efficiency than a three-dimensional simulation. However, the existence of great differences between different slice images ...

Abstract: A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the influence of various factors on the fracture properties of asphalt mixtures obtained from three different asphalt layers for serving asphalt pavements. The fracture ...

Abstract: Cold in-place recycling (CIR) has been increasingly applied in many areas of China, but there is no widely accepted method for the mix design of CIR. The compaction of cold recycled mixtures in the field varies significantly ...

Abstract: Based on the long-term maintenance data, the performance and service lives of several orthotropic steel bridge deck (OSBD) pavement materials in long-span suspension bridges were studied and evaluated. According to the ...

Abstract: This study investigated the common aging protocols for binders and asphalt mixtures on fine aggregate matrix (FAM). Currently, no unified aging protocols are specified for laboratory-prepared FAM. The majority of FAM-related ...

Abstract: This paper evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of pavement treatments based on the equivalent area method, which uses the area bounded by posttreatment performance curve, threshold, and unified standard ...
