Abstract: The objective of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of aggregate size within sand mastic by modeling the microstructure of an asphalt mixture. The sensitivity of the maximum aggregate size on the sand mastic phase ...

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to develop three-dimensional (3D) microstructure-based discrete element models of asphalt mixtures to study the dynamic modulus from the stress-strain response under compressive loads. ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the coefficient of permeability, porosity, and voids in total mixture (VTM) of fine-graded hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Two fine-graded HMA mixtures used in ...

Abstract: Architecture and architectural engineering (A/AE) education has always relied on traditional (face-to-face) delivery modality in a studio-based environment. However, COVID-19 impacted the field of education by effecting a ...
