In this study, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based backcalculating program combined
with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization algorithm was developed for backcalculation of …

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

This work aims to develop a wave propagation-based analytical solution that can be
effectively used for calculating the mechanical responses of transversely isotropic …

This study predicts asphalt pavement responses from surface deflections under falling
weight deflectometer (FWD) loading using soft computing methods. Finite-element (FE) …

Accurate pavement design and evaluation requires the execution of response analysis.
Pavement materials' behavior does not necessarily conform to the assumptions of the multi …

Diagnosis of the dynamic response of an asphalt pavement structure coupled with involving
inherent anisotropic properties of pavement materials serves as a vital tool for pavement …

Traffic produces vibrations and noise that affect the livability and structural integrity of the
built environment. Despite the fact that many studies focused on traffic-induced vibrations …

The current paper investigates through finite element analysis (FEM) procedures critical
pavement responses taking into consideration material variability, pavement cross-sectional …

Previous studies by the authors have determined pavement responses under dynamic
loading considering cross-anisotropy in one layer only, either the cross-anisotropic …

Fatigue damage can be defined by a decrease in stiffness of Asphalt Concrete (AC) under
repeated traffic loading. For each cycle of traffic loading, tensile strain develops at the bottom …
