Abstract: Asphalt concrete is a heterogeneous mixture of three constituents of asphalt binder, aggregate, and air void. The local volume fractions of these constituents vary spatially and therefore result in the spatial gradients ...

Abstract: Cables of parallel wires are idealized as laminated beams including interlayer slips to consider the effect of interfacial slips among wires on their bending stiffness. The governing differential equations for the bending ...
