(2021-05-06)This first part of the thesis investigates a fast, non-destructive testing method to characterize asphalt mixtures. While dynamic modulus was recommended by NCHRP Project 9-19 as a test to represent pavement performance, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The focus of this dissertation is on constant displacment rate experiments on asphalt concrete and on developing continuum models in a general thermo-mechanical setting which will corroborate with the experimental results. ...
-
(2015-05-01)Oxidative aging is known to be one of the main contributors to reducing the service life of asphalt pavements. Asphalt concrete becomes stiffer and more brittle when it reacts with oxygen. The aged asphalt pavement is more ...
-
(2014-08-10)Controlling infrastructure temperature, especially flexible pavement, has attracted attention in both industrial and academic societies because: 1) material properties of asphalt, and corresponding structural responses and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)It has been proved by many researchers that existing fatigue failure criteria based on constant amplitude loading tests underpredict the fatigue life of asphalt concrete pavements. Unrealistic loading conditions in laboratory ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)This study was undertaken to evaluate the laboratory performance of recycled asphalt concrete mixtures and to compare these results to those measured for conventional asphalt concrete mixtures. To make these comparisons, ...

(2013-08-13)The main objective of this study is to develop and validate a framework for microstructural modeling of asphalt composite materials using a coupled thermo-viscoelastic, thermo-viscoplastic, and thermo-viscodamage constitutive ...
-
(2010-10-12)This thesis presents a continuum model for asphalt concrete incorporating non- linear viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, mechanically-induced damage and moisture- induced damage. The Schapery single-integral viscoelastic ...
