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 …

Moisture susceptibility and cracking are considered as two major causes of distress in
asphalt pavement, which are developed and expanded under environmental factors such as …

The complicated composition structure of the asphalt mixture makes it difficult to determine
its multi-scale performance. It is impossible to understand the internal interaction mechanism …

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of internal structure evolution on the heat
transfer characteristics of porous asphalt mixtures using finite element software. Image …

To explore the low-temperature cracking of asphalt composite's materials, this study used
the three-dimensional module in the particle flow code (PFC3D), from which a three …

Gradation design is the critical procedure for asphalt mixture design, a proper mineral
gradation could provide excellent volumetric and mechanical properties for asphalt mixture …

This paper studies the meso-structural characteristics of porous asphalt (PA) mixture and the
influence of heterogeneity on the overall mechanical and thermal properties of pavement. A …

Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) have been effectively used for pavement health
monitoring. However, the inhomogeneity of the asphalt mixture and the characteristics of the …

To study the internal stress transfer law and the evolution of the fine structure of asphalt
mixtures after being subjected to traffic load during the service phase, finite element (FE) …

Since the aggregate structure influence the mechanical response of mixture and its
monitoring signal, this study mainly advance the integration of gradation theory and sensor …
