Abstract: The fatigue life of pavements modeled as Winkler beams, with irregular profile, and traversed by vehicles modeled as nonlinear dynamic systems, is investigated in this article. Three computational methods are used to ...

Abstract: A common laboratory fatigue test for life estimation of pavements uses a repeated load flexural device with nonlayered beam specimens. As a result of such factors as traffic wander, and also due to different crack growth ...
