Numerical and Experimental Analysis for the Interlayer Behavior of Double-Layered Asphalt Pavement Specimens
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bonding characteristics between pavement layers have an important influence on responses of pavement structures. This paper deals with this subject by analyzing the interlayer behavior of double-layered asphalt (DLA) ...
Simulation of Fracture Behavior in Asphalt Concrete Using a Heterogeneous Cohesive Zone Discrete Element Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: With increasing traffic loads and changes in crude petroleum refining techniques, cracking in asphalt pavements continues to be a major cause of structural and functional deterioration of these systems, particularly in ...
Mesh-Independent Fracture Modeling for Overlay Pavement System under Heavy Aircraft Gear Loadings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Flexible overlay systems often fail before reaching their design life due to the occurrence of reflective cracking caused by stress concentrations in the vicinity of joints and cracks in the underlying pavement. In this ...
Water Runoff Characteristics in Porous Block Pavements Using an Accelerated Pavement Tester
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Permeable block pavements are designed to treat and delay the water flow in an urban environment. In order to measure the runoff characteristics of the permeable block pavement, a rainfall simulation test was conducted at ...
Evaluation Methodology for Laying Pattern of Interlocking Concrete Block Pavements Using a Displacement-Moment Concept
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concrete block pavements (CBP) are increasingly used in pedestrian roads and low-volume highways. Concrete block pavements experience various failure modes, including shifting, cracking, spalling, and erosion of jointing ...
