Abstract: The process of selecting contractors for megaprojects involves inherent uncertainty in judgment and preferences, especially under multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) scenarios. This uncertainty often stems from ...

Abstract: Asphalt mortar is a mixture of asphalt mastic and fine aggregates (<2.36  mm) in asphalt concrete. Accurately predicting the complex modulus of asphalt mortar is essential to further estimating asphalt concrete’s ...

Abstract: Long-term vapor exposure generates persistent moisture gradients across asphalt pavement sections, driving moisture diffusion into asphalt concrete (AC). Moisture in AC weakens the materials and exacerbates the action of ...

Abstract: This study proposes a three-dimensional (3D) mesomechanical simulation–based approach to determining the representative volume element (RVE) of asphalt concrete. In this approach, 3D mesostructures of asphalt concrete were ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) random mesostructure models have been broadly utilized to study mechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of asphalt concrete due to their high availability and efficiency. The 2D aggregate gradation ...

Abstract: Mesostructure-based simulation technology offers an effective approach to modeling the mesomechanical responses of asphalt concrete and studying its mesomechanisms. However, current exploration depth and utilization level ...

Abstract: To study the combination principles of structural design and material design in asphalt pavement with semi-rigid bases, the software BISAR3. was used to analyze the load responses in asphalt pavement with two layers of ...

Abstract: A fast three-dimensional (3D) Voronoi and voxel based mesostructure modeling method was proposed for asphalt concrete. This method combine the advantages of the Voronoi diagram, voxel meshing, and take-and-place techniques ...
