Abstract: Although phenomenon-mimicking or metaheuristic algorithms, such as genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, tabu search, shuffled frog-leaping algorithm, ant colony optimization algorithm, harmony search, cross entropy, ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to evaluate how the physical properties and thickness of asphalt pavements influence behaviors of ultra thin whitetopping (UTW). The results of the three-dimensional finite-element method ...

Abstract: As industrialization advances, the increase in impermeable areas in urban regions has changed the water circulation system. Hence, many environmental issues such as heat islands and city floods have arisen. To solve this ...

Abstract: Permeable block pavements are designed to treat and delay the water flow in an urban environment. In order to measure the runoff characteristics of the permeable block pavement, a rainfall simulation test was conducted at ...

Abstract: Concrete block pavements (CBP) are increasingly used in pedestrian roads and low-volume highways. Concrete block pavements experience various failure modes, including shifting, cracking, spalling, and erosion of jointing ...
