Abstract: A two-dimensional finite-element simulation consumes less computational resources and has higher efficiency than a three-dimensional simulation. However, the existence of great differences between different slice images ...

Abstract: A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the influence of various factors on the fracture properties of asphalt mixtures obtained from three different asphalt layers for serving asphalt pavements. The fracture ...

Abstract: The mesoscale structure of asphalt mixture in finite-element (FE) models has been widely used in evaluating crack growth and fatigue performance. However, the present methodology for establishing the mesoscale structure ...

Abstract: Based on the long-term maintenance data, the performance and service lives of several orthotropic steel bridge deck (OSBD) pavement materials in long-span suspension bridges were studied and evaluated. According to the ...
