Thermal cracking is one of the most annoying distresses in asphalt pavements. The cracking
of asphalt pavements caused by extremely low temperature and the damage of thermal …

The use of phase change materials (PCMs) in asphalt pavement mixtures has the potential
to be an effective method of regulating extreme temperatures. In this article, the primary …

Conventional pavement materials like SMA and GA do not meet the requirement for steel
bridge decks. Epoxy asphalt concrete (EAC) has good performances but also has fatigue …

Thermal expansion of concrete is a main factor of concrete failures especially in
underground waterproof engineering, overlong structural engineering and mass concrete …

This study investigated the effects of moderate daily temperature variations on reflective
cracking in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays on Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements …

Extended finite element method (XFEM) models are prepared to observe the progression of
an existing crack in the AC pavements under thermal fatigue load only. 2-D XFEM models …

Inductive power transfer (IPT) technology can be used to conveniently and straightforwardly
charge stationary or moving electric vehicles. The primary IPT pad, buried in the pavement …

Thermal cracks are considered one of the most prevalent and critical forms of pavement
distress. While recent studies have proven that the regression method to explain thermal …

Fatigue cracking is the most common distress in asphalt pavements. Currently, no
performance-related laboratory tests exist for fatigue cracking to use in routine asphalt mix …

The simplified physical model of asphalt mortar and aggregate was established, and the
interfacial mechanical theory was used to calculate the thermal stress between asphalt …
