Abstract: In the present study, three strain gauge installation methods (mound, trench-cut, and block-out) are evaluated to propose a set of methods that are appropriate for different layers of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents the research effort in which the viscoelastoplastic continuum damage (VEPCD) model is developed and calibrated for the behavioral prediction of asphalt–aggregate mixtures subjected to tensile stresses ...

Abstract: A laboratory study has been carried out to develop mechanical models for the dynamic modulus, fatigue life, and rutting performance of asphalt concrete as a function of air void content. The experimental program includes ...
