The sustainable performance of asphalt pavement depends on the quality and mix design of
road aggregates. Identifying aggregate morphology and size is a prerequisite step for …

Asphalt mixture is a typical granular material, and its macroscopic properties are closely
related to the interaction behavior of aggregate particles at the micro scales. Discrete …

In this study, the effect of coarse aggregate shape characteristics on the compactability and
microstructural properties of asphalt mixtures was virtually investigated using a discreet …

The increasing electromagnetic energy and multiple reflections of electromagnetic wave
(EMW) produce various negative impact on the human body, equipment, information …

In asphalt mixtures, external loading transfer paths can be deemed as force chains. The
force chains difference can be used to evaluate skeleton structure. In this study, various …

The present paper discusses the analysis and modeling of laboratory data regarding the
mechanical characterization of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures for road pavements, by …

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of the dispersion of fillers
dispersion as individual particles and evaluate the effects of the morphological …

This paper studies the shear behavior of granular materials by using a three-dimensional
(3D) discrete element method (DEM) simulation of the triaxial test. The experimental triaxial …

The current paper deals with the numerical prediction of the mechanical response of asphalt
concretes for road pavements, using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The asphalt concrete …

The physical composition and stress state of soil-rock mixture (SRM) materials have a
crucial influence on their mechanical properties, and play a vital role in improving the …
