Abstract: Pavement distress information is important to highway engineers in managing pavement networks. At the present time, there are several research groups working to develop a more efficient and unbiased method of obtaining ...

Abstract: Loess is featured by a metastable structure, which results in its significant volumetric decrease under self-weight pressure when subjected to the increase in moisture. The prerequisite for analyzing such a unique deformation ...

Abstract: The Loess Plateau is susceptible to geological disasters, many of which are related to the loess internal hydraulic erosion. This erosion process can alter the loess microstructure and influence multiscale mechanical ...

Abstract: As the most important infrastructure of the airport system, airfield pavement is exposed to the challenges with heavy aircraft loads and increased flight frequency. Therefore, its preservation and maintenance has been ...

Abstract: This study investigated the feasibility of applying a polyurethane-bonded mixture (PUM) on the pavement overlay for construction or maintenance. Styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) asphalt and epoxy asphalt, the two most common ...

Abstract: Loess is the most well-known collapsible soil. The field immersion test is one of the effective means to assess the in situ self-weight collapsibility of soil. However, the reason why huge differences appeared in collapse ...
