Abstract: Currently, the fatigue performance of asphalt concrete (AC) is predicted according to repeated traffic-induced tensile strain at the bottom of AC layer. Cyclic thermal strain caused by day-night temperature fluctuation is ...

Abstract: The research reported in this paper investigates the coefficient of thermal contraction (CTE) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of asphalt concrete (AC) under different conditions in the laboratory. As a first ...

Abstract: Currently, the fatigue performance of asphalt concrete (AC) is predicted according to repeated traffic-induced tensile strain at the bottom of AC layer. Cyclic thermal strain caused by day-night temperature fluctuation is ...

Abstract: Top-down longitudinal cracking in asphalt pavement is one of the serious issues in cold regions, although a recently developed pavement mechanistic-empirical (ME) design guide predicts the amount of this cracking damage ...

Abstract: This study investigates the stiffness and tensile strength degradation behavior of asphalt concrete (AC) on long-term freeze-thaw (FT) conditioned samples in the laboratory. In the first step, beam samples (

Abstract: This study investigates the stiffness and tensile strength degradation behavior of asphalt concrete (AC) on long-term freeze-thaw (FT) conditioned samples in the laboratory. In the first step, beam samples (363×63×50  mm) ...

Abstract: Sustainable soil stabilization refers to using environmentally friendly and long-lasting techniques to improve the strength and durability of the problematic soil, e.g., expansive soil. Using non-energy-intensive ...
