An extensive review of literature related to particle breakage and crushing has been done in
this paper by filtering out a total of 183 articles from the respective domains. Based upon the …

The morphology of granular materials, such as sands, is of significant importance due to the
effect of grain shape on their physical, mechanical, and hydraulic behavior. As technology …

Methodology for analysis of meso-structure effects on longer-scale mechanical response of
concrete is developed. Efficient algorithms for particle generation and packing are proposed …

This paper investigates the plastic viscosity of cement mortar with manufactured sand (MS)
concerning the influences of geometric features and particle size of MS. The geometric …

Form, texture, and angularity are among the properties of aggregates that have a significant
effect on the performance of hot-mix asphalt, hydraulic cement concrete, and unbound base …

This study addresses the relationship between fine aggregate shape properties and the
performance of hot-mix asphalt. Aggregate shape was expressed as three independent …

The shape of soil particles influences asphalt, concrete, and soil behavior. The image
analysis and visual comparison methods are commonly employed to quantify the shape …

With the rapid growth of traffic, asphalt pavement with well performance conditions is
urgently needed. Maintenance and renovation consume large amounts of natural …

Mineral aggregates make up between 80% and 90% of the total volume or 94% to 95% of
the mass of hot mix asphalt (HMA). For this reason, it is important to maximize the quality of …

In this article, we provide a review of the uses of asphalt from ancient to modern times and
we discuss the main attempts at mathematically modeling its behavior. We start with a …
