Pavement and mix design represent one of the key components within the life cycle of a
road infrastructure, with links to political, economic, technical, societal and environmental …

Reflective cracking, the phenomenon by which cracks propagate through the overlay from
existing damaged pavement, is a major cracking distress for asphalt pavements. Over time …

Most fatigue models for concrete under compression assume, as an axiom, that compressive
tests are a limit case for a cyclic test where failure is achieved in the first cycle. This is …

To describe the interaction of fatigue-creep damage of an asphalt mixture under the action of
semi-sine cyclic loading reasonably, a direct tension fatigue test was carried out under four …

Fatigue is one of the most common types of distress in asphalt pavement due to traffic
loading. Pavements are steadily deteriorating from a long-term issue of cracking resulting in …

A viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model, which accounts for the effects of rate-
dependent damage growth, has been successfully applied to quantify the reduction in the …

As a natural modifier of asphalt, rock asphalt has been widely used to improve its thermal
stability and aging resistance. However, the thermal cracking resistance of asphalt modified …

Fatigue damage is one of the main distresses responsible for the deterioration of asphalt
roads. Self-healing, occurring during rest periods, has been shown to increase the total …

A comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art experimental, theoretical and numerical
methods that aid understanding and predicting the quasi-brittle fracture behavior of plain …

This paper presents a novel three-phase damage model for the prediction of the post-peak
responses of composite materials, such as recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The …
