Asphalt concretes are biphasic systems, with a predominant phase (ca 93–96% w/w) made
by the macro-meter sized inorganic aggregates hold together by small amounts of a …

Over the past two decades, immense research efforts at a global level have extended CT-
Scan technology across several engineering fields. The state-of-the-art of the most relevant …

Heterogeneity of interfacial transition zones (ITZs) is a key factor for the properties and
failure mechanism of geopolymer concrete. The nano/microscale properties and …

Permeable pavements have been widely regarded as an effective way to restore the
ecological functionality of urban road systems such as natural infiltration properties …

Understanding and characterizing the properties of recycled concrete aggregate asphalt
mixture (RCAM) is a challenge because there are more complicated aggregate-asphalt …

Asphalt mixtures are widely used in the construction of high-grade highways and airport
pavements. With regard to numerical simulations it was considered as homogeneous due to …

This paper presents a mesoscopic discrete modeling approach for studying compression
and fracture behavior of concrete. A modified piecewise linear sieve curve was proposed to …

The fracture resistance of asphalt materials under repeated traffic loads significantly
influences the service life of asphalt pavements. The numerical simulation of asphalt …

The Burgers model is ineffective in the representation of dynamic viscoelastic properties of
asphalt binders; the existing fractional derivative Burgers (FDB I) model has limitations in its …

The understanding of microscopic characteristics of interface transition zones (ITZs)
between recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) and asphalt mastic contributes to the …
