Abstract: The method of testing asphalt mixtures including initial cracks appearing in pavements is presented in this paper. The main aim of the study was a determination of the durability of asphalt mixtures in regard to crack ...

Abstract: Stresses in the concrete surrounding dowel bars is a major factor that contributes to transverse joint distress in jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP). In this study, a distribution of stresses around dowel bars was ...

Abstract: An algorithm for determining the rheological parameters of asphalt mixes in the creep test in the Nottingham Asphalt Tester (NAT) is presented. It was found that the smallest errors in identification of the rheological ...

Abstract: Temperature changing within 24 h causes different deformations of concrete slabs. In consequence, thermal stresses arise in the slabs due to their dead weight and lateral constraints. In Central Europe, due to frequently ...
