This paper presents a discrete element model for simulations of the compaction process of
hot mixed asphalt (HMA). The model is anchored by the concept of a fine aggregate matrix …

This paper presents the theoretical background for the development of a constitutive model
that is used in the simulation of the compaction of asphalt mixtures. The constitutive model is …

The compaction of asphalt concrete is the last step in controlling the quality of pavement.
Tremendous information on the mixture's characteristics, segregation, and fundamental …

Field compaction of asphalt mixtures is an important process that influences performance of
asphalt pavements. This study evaluates the relationship between different field compaction …

This research proposes a large deformation, time-dependent viscoplastic constitutive
relationship to enhance the prediction of the compaction degree of asphalt concrete …

Field compaction of asphalt mixtures is an important process that influences performance of
asphalt pavements; however there is very little effort devoted to evaluate the influence of …

Compaction is the process of reducing the volume of hot-mix asphalt (HMA) by the
application of external forces. As a result of compaction, the volume of air voids decreases …

Long-term performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements is significantly influenced by
the internal structure characteristics related to the aggregate skeleton. The type and degree …

Compaction of hot mix asphalt after the laydown process is one of the critical steps of
construction affecting the service performance of asphalt concrete. It is known that …

Compaction of asphalt mixtures represents a critical step in the construction process that
significantly affects the performance and durability of asphalt pavements. In this research …
