Over four decades, researchers have extensively focused on bonding flexible pavement
layers. Scholars have concentrated on the partial or complete lack of interlayer bonding …

In this study, the discrete-element model (DEM) of asphalt pavement is established to
discuss the effects of temperature changes of interlaminar bonding layer on mechanical …

This study aims to evaluate the interlayer bonding characteristics between double-layered
asphalt systems. Three typical asphalt structures were chosen for evaluation. In each case …

The extreme climate conditions and heavy traffic in high-altitude and cold regions have led
to the deterioration of pavements, resulting in cracks and ruts. To address this issue in Tibet …

The pavement engineering community currently lacks an accepted response model that can
practically capture and emulate the effects of asphalt grid reinforcement (AGR) products. A …

Layer bonding performance is essential for ensuring the longevity of open-graded friction
course (OGFC) pavements. This study examined the interlayer bonding efficacy between …

This study investigates the influence of surface electric charges of tack coat emulsions and
aggregates on the interlayer shear strength (ISS) of asphalt pavements. Three types of …

Bonding between layers is a critical aspect in the durability and performance of asphalt
pavements. The life of the pavement can be significantly reduced due to poor bonding …

The bond properties at layer interfaces are a required input in mechanistic asphalt pavement
models. For design and analysis procedures, involving the calculation of key responses that …

This study was motivated by the need for a mechanistic-empirical (ME) design method
applicable to asphalt pavements after mill-and-overlay repairs that include reinforcing grids; …
