Abstract: Asphalt concrete is used as a water barrier (interior core or upstream facing) in embankment dams. This paper investigates the behavior of hydraulic asphalt specimens subjected to cyclic loading in a triaxial cell. The ...

Abstract: Hydraulic asphalt concrete (HAC) used as upstream facing of embankment dams is subjected to different temperatures and loading conditions. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the compressive behavior of HAC under ...

Abstract: The tensile mechanical properties of hydraulic asphalt concrete (HAC) play a significantly important role in the safety of the impervious core in embankment dams. This paper aims to develop a direct tensile test setup with ...
