ABSTRACT: The most famous model known in prediction of dynamic modulus for asphalt concretes is the Witczak and Hirsh models. These models didn’t use the mineralogical and chemical properties of ...

The three testing modes produced comparable elastic modulus values. For the sample in this study, modulus values ranged between 6 and 16 GPa. All three testing modes exhibited relatively favorable ...

Abstract: Inclusion of geogrid in aggregate base materials is an increasingly popular practice in pavement construction. Geogrid reinforcement can improve the performance of pavements by stiffening ...

This article describes the development and validation of a linear viscoelastic model 2S2P1D for silty sand mixed with 16% asphalt emulsion. Experimental data from creep tests were employed to propose ...
