This review paper presents and critically discusses the developments in the area of the
dynamic response of road pavements to moving vehicle loads during the last 72 years (1951 …

This second part of the review paper on the dynamic response of road pavements under
moving vehicle loads deals with flexible pavements. Flexible pavements are composed of …

The effectiveness of any pavement design based on the mechanistic procedure depends on
the accuracy of the mechanical parameters used such as stresses and strains. Hence, an …

A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model was developed to investigate the
dynamic responses of thin, flexible pavement under impulsive loading similar to a falling …

Premature deterioration in semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is still considered as one of the
main distress related to Chinese highway pavements. There are several reasons for this …

This paper describes the development of a 3D tyre–pavement interaction model to predict
the tyre–pavement contact stress distributions for future use in the mechanistic analysis of …

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 …

This paper explains the importance of using a nonlinear anisotropic three-dimensional (3D)
finite-element (FE) pavement model to simulate the granular base layer and predict …

The selection of accurate input design parameters is important for understanding the
dynamic response of an asphalt pavement structure. The transverse and longitudinal shear …

Airport asphalt pavement failure is caused by the combined effects of temperature and
aircraft loading. Sensors have been effectively used to monitor the structural health of airport …
