Abstract: Curling stresses of concrete pavement can be very damaging, and reducing the temperature swings would be very beneficial. This study includes a field instrumentation effort with pavement temperature sensors to quantify the ...

Abstract: Complex modulus of an asphalt mixture constitutes two components:

Abstract: A one-dimensional mathematical model was developed, based on the fundamental energy balance, to calculate the pavement near-surface temperatures using hourly measured solar radiation, air temperature, dew-point temperature, ...

Abstract: Perpetual pavements, if properly designed and rehabilitated, last longer than 50 years without major structural rehabilitation. The fatigue endurance limit (EL) is a key parameter for designing perpetual pavements to ...

Abstract: Complex modulus of an asphalt mixture constitutes two components: E′ representing the ability of the mixture to store energy (elastic behavior), and E′′ reflecting the capacity of the material to dissipate energy (viscous ...

Abstract: Pavements are exposed to different external factors such as traffic loading, levels of moisture, and ambient temperature fluctuations. External temperature change affects the pavement’s temperature profile and therefore ...
