Abstract: Pavement cracking can be considered to be an irreversible step-by-step fracturing process induced by cyclic truck load applications. Hence, pavement crack propagation depends primarily on the accumulated axle loads (ESALs) ...

Abstract: Five full-size concrete replacement slabs were constructed and tested by a heavy vehicle simulator (HVS) at 6 h after concrete placement to study the early strength requirement of concrete for slab replacement. Stress ...
