In semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, shrinkage cracks in semi-rigid base propagate upward
to the asphalt surface and cause reflective crack. Many methods have been conducted to …

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 …

The use of geogrids for pavement reinforcement has been continuously increasing over the
past decades. Their main role remains to limit crack reflection and they are therefore …

Currently, the fatigue performance of asphalt concrete (AC) is predicted according to
repeated traffic-induced tensile strain at the bottom of AC layer. Cyclic thermal strain caused …

In the present study, shakedown approach is used to investigate the effect of stress
anisotropy on crushing behavior of granular sub-base. Haversine load was applied on …

One of the possible alternatives to extend the service life of the pavement, reducing the
maintenance costs of the pavement and possibly the thickness of the overlay, is the use of …

Flexural stiffness and fatigue life of asphalt concrete are determined by a four-point bending
test using AASHTO T321 test protocol. A sample is prepared using a kneading compactor …

Temperature fatigue reflective crack is a major distress in asphalt pavement and may induce
further destroys. Many methods have been conducted to solve this problem. However, the …

Paving interlayers have been used in asphalt concrete (AC) overlays in a variety of design
and construction situations for more than three decades. In cold regions such as Alaska and …
