Abstract: A linear theory that may be used to predict the primary responses (stress, strain displacement) of continuous pavements to moving dynamic loads is presented. The theory is derived from the well‐known convolution integral ...

Abstract: This paper examines the importance of structural dynamics in the primary response of flexible pavements to fluctuating, moving wheel loads. The influence of vehicle speed and loading frequency are examined first, using a ...

Abstract: Permanent deformation (rutting) in bituminous pavements is treated as a linear viscoelastic flow phenomenon and is calculated using the linear elastic layered pavement model VESYS, reported by Kenis in 1978, supplied with ...
