Electric transportation brings significant benefits in energy and environmental sustainability.
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is highly affected by the availability of charging …

Abstract Structure indicators of flexible pavements can be categorized into material moduli,
deflections, distresses, or responses. Since field measurements of pavement responses …

The present study developed a microstructure-based multiscale finite element (FE) method
to investigate the effect of temperature fields on the damage initiation within the asphalt …

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 …

Load-induced top-down cracking is one of the major types of asphalt pavement
deterioration; however, its initiation mechanisms have not been fully understood so far …

Top-down cracking (TDC) is recognized as one of the major distress modes in asphalt
pavements. This study aimed to determine the fracture parameter J-integral of TDC, which is …

This paper discusses the effects of mixed mode loading on cohesive zone parameters
obtained from load-crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) curves in asphalt mixtures …

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

The performance of airport asphalt pavement gradually deteriorates under aircraft load
repetitions. In this study, a framework of airport asphalt pavement health monitoring system …

In this paper, the fracture parameters of top-down and bottom-up cracks initiated in a multi-
layer asphalt pavement is computed numerically. Using extensive two-dimensional finite …
