Porosity plays a clearly important role in geology. It controls fluid storage in aquifers, oil and
gas fields and geothermal systems, and the extent and connectivity of the pore structure …

Thermal and mechanical processes alter the microstructure of materials, which determines
their mechanical properties. This makes reliable microstructural analysis important to the …

The microstructure characteristic of asphalt mixture has substantial effects on its
macroscopic mechanical properties. The study on the structural characteristics of asphalt …

In order to clarify the influence of coarse aggregate morphology on the rheological property
and mechanical property of fresh concrete, the morphological characteristics of coarse …

Cold recycled mixtures (CRM) offer advantages in terms of resource conservation and
reduced CO 2 emissions. This paper utilizes the vertical vibration testing method (VVTM) …

Current studies on the movement of asphalt mixture components and the formation of
internal structures during compaction are lacking. Therefore, this article focuses on the effect …

Asphalt mixtures compacted in the field and in a laboratory show obvious differences in their
internal structures, and this affects the evaluation of pavement performance. Hence, in this …

Size effects on mechanical strength, ie the fact that larger structures fail under lower stresses
than smaller ones, already highlighted by Leonardo da Vinci and Edmée Mariotte centuries …

Conventional asphalt mixtures are prone to material separation during mixing, causing
rutting, loosening, and cracking of the pavement. This study proposes a two-stage mixing …

Asphalt mixture skeleton is the main structure to resist load, and the contact point between
coarse aggregates is one of the key elements of skeleton structure. This study investigated …
