Abstract: The mechanical behavior of many bound granular materials such as asphalt mixtures is anisotropic in nature. However, the majority of the current mechanical tests and analytical models for asphalt mixtures are based on the ...

Abstract: Permanent deformation is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. It is caused mainly by high traffic loads associated with high field temperatures. An anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model is developed ...

Abstract: Achieving proper compaction of asphalt pavement is crucial to its longevity and acceptable performance. Laboratory compaction is an essential part of mix design. In order for the mix design process to be effective, laboratory ...

Abstract: This study investigated the influence of several construction practices on the bond strength at the interface between pavement layers. These practices included the surface treatment, curing time, residual application rate, ...
