Natural resource reservoirs usually consist of heterogeneous aggregated geomaterials
containing a large number of randomly distributed particles with irregular geometry. As a …

With the aging of roads and the lack of resources for maintenance, a thorough
understanding of the interaction between tires and asphalt pavements is crucial to optimize …

Fatigue cracks were observed in the 1800s in steel structures—bridge and railroad—in
Europe because of cyclic loading; since then, fatigue has been extensively studied in …

The complex structure of bituminous mixtures ranging from nanoscale binder components to
macroscale pavement performance requires a comprehensive approach to material …

Aggregate shape properties is one of the factors that determine the packing conditions of
asphalt mixtures. The influence of aggregate shape properties was evaluated by utilising …

Reactive polymers, consisting of glycidyl methacrylate, produce a chemical reaction
between the polymer and the asphalt binder that can be beneficial for asphalt application in …

Based on the discrete element method (DEM), this study conducted the virtual simulation of
wheel tracking tests to predict the rutting deformation of asphalt mixtures and analyzed the …

Dynamic shear modulus of an asphalt mastic has a remarkable effect on the mechanical
performance of an asphalt pavement, and particulate composite micromechanical models …

This study focused on the effects of different parameters related to air voids on the creep
behavior of asphalt mixture based on micromechanical modeling and virtual test through …

The purpose of this study is to further investigate the strength size effect and failure
