Abstract: Excess moisture and pore pressure in pavements are significant causes of road deterioration. The evaluation of pavement degradation in flood events and water table rises is critical to proposing better designs and mitigation ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the critical impacts of the void morphology on the strength and damage responses of asphalt concrete as a time-dependent heterogeneous medium. First, efficient algorithms are developed to randomly ...

Abstract: The present paper offers a micromechanical modeling approach to evaluate the impact of the porosity structure on the response of asphalt concrete as a viscoelastic multiphase material under the combined action of moisture ...
