Abstract: The paper discusses a rate-dependent constitutive model to describe the creep deformation of rock salts. The model is based on the dislocation-related micromechanisms; the concept of effective ...

Abstract: International roughness index (IRI) is a widely-accepted parameter that indicates pavement performance and ride quality. This study develops a prediction model for IRI using artificial neural networks (ANN) for flexible ...

Abstract: Asphalt is a primary source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in urban runoff originating mainly from asphalt concrete (AC) pavements and parking lots. High levels of PAHs have been reported in soil and water ...
