Abstract: Hydraulic asphalt concrete (HAC) used as upstream facing of embankment dams is subjected to different temperatures and loading conditions. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the compressive behavior of HAC under ...

Abstract: The tensile mechanical properties of hydraulic asphalt concrete (HAC) play a significantly important role in the safety of the impervious core in embankment dams. This paper aims to develop a direct tensile test setup with ...

Abstract: Investigating the triaxial dynamic mechanical behavior of hydraulic asphalt concrete (HAC) plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of dams. Currently, there is a gap in the knowledge of its dynamic mechanical behavior ...
