Abstract: Inertia effect is an artifact commonly seen in the oscillation test for soft materials. It is due to the misattribute of the instrument’s elastic component to the sample’s properties, which will lead to overestimated storage ...

Abstract: Pavement friction and surface texture are crucial for highway safety. Acknowledging the gaps in understanding the relationship between pavement surface friction and texture, this paper introduces a novel deep residual ...

Abstract: Aggregate morphological characteristics can play an important role in aggregate resistance to polishing and degradation. The Aggregate Imaging System (AIMS) has been one of the most widely used instruments for aggregate-property ...

Abstract: Although accurate evaluation of pavement friction promises significant safety benefits to highway agencies, the development of such models has proven to be challenging due to the lack of complete and quality pavement surface ...
