Abstract: This study proposes a modified harmony search (MHS) algorithm for determining the time-domain viscoelastic function of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) concrete materials. This MHS technique, employing a global optimization technique ...

Abstract: Pavement response depends not only on loading magnitude and pavement material properties but also on the pavement’s dynamic parameters such as inertia, resonance, and damping. In a previous study, it was found that by using ...
