Abstract: Shallow slide failures in embankments constructed of high plasticity clays create costly maintenance problems on highway projects and can threaten the integrity of water-retaining earth structures. This paper investigates ...

Abstract: Two methods, a three-parameter (work-hardening) model and a pseudostrain energy model, were used to characterize permanent deformation-related damage potential of asphalt mixtures. The three parameters were calculated by ...

Abstract: The pseudo-strain concept based on Schapery’s extended nonlinear elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle is demonstrated by a considerable database to be able to characterize both microdamage and microdamage healing ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the processes on fatigue fracture and fracture healing during controlled-strain, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) testing. Sand asphalt samples were fabricated with two SHRP-classified ...

Abstract: Higher allowable axle loads of multiaxle trucks produce severe pavement damage, which leads to raising the budget to rehabilitate deteriorated sections. To minimize expected damage, it is necessary to design pavement to ...

Abstract: The multidepth deflectometer (MDD) is used to estimate flexible pavement response subjected to permitted overweight truck traffic (gross vehicle weight up to 556 kN). This study focuses on using material constitutive models ...
