An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction
(1985)
Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
Thermal susceptibility : a new environmental deterioration mechanism for pavements
(1976)
Transverse cracking is a form of environmental deterioration that accounts for the expenditure of some twenty million dollars a year in maintenance in west Texas alone. This form of deterioration has not been predictable ...
A finite element method for the performance analysis of flexible pavements
(1988)
The purpose of this study is to present a computer program, named FEPASS, to predict the performance of asphaltic concrete pavements. Methods have been developed that predict the rutting, the fatigue cracking, and the slope ...
Numerical prediction of pavement distress with geotechnical constitutive laws
(1993)
The structural analysis and the selection of the performance models are the two most important steps in pavement performance analysis and they significantly affect the prediction of pavement distress. The nonlinear elasticity ...
Influence of sand-sized aggregate particles on permanent deformation in asphalt concrete pavements
(1991)
The presence of sand-sized aggregate particles play a very important role in the rutting performance of asphalt concrete pavements. The influence that these particles have on permanent deformation is investigated in this ...
