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: A reliable method for determining the dynamic material characteristics of hot-mix asphalt using a Bayesian method based on Latin hypercube sampling, impact resonance testing (IRT), and the shift factor of linear viscoelastic ...

Abstract: The growth of viscoelastic cracks in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) concrete mixtures was simulated by using a disk-shaped compaction test. Modeling techniques, including the interconversion and continuous spectrum methods, the ...
