Digital image processing technology has been widely applied in various fields, and it is also
increasingly used in pavement material analysis in recent years. The objective of this review …

The skeleton structure of asphalt mixture is the main carrier to resist load. At present, the
identification and evaluation of skeleton contact chains need to be further investigated. This …

The microstructure characteristic of asphalt mixture has substantial effects on its
macroscopic mechanical properties. The study on the structural characteristics of asphalt …

Rutting is one of the most common distresses in early damage to asphalt pavements. It can
raise the risk of ride safety issues, accelerate pavement deterioration, and increase …

Aggregates are the main carrier to resist external loads for asphalt pavement, and the
characteristics of force chain network (FCN) in aggregate blend are closely related to the …

The movement of aggregates plays an important role in the permanent deformation of
asphalt mixture. To provide a reference for the design of asphalt mixture, this study …

To reveal the fracture damage of asphalt mixture, an image-based numerical approach is
proposed in this study considering the distribution of aggregate and asphalt mortar. Both …

The strength and shape of aggregates significantly affect the internal skeleton structure (ISS)
of the asphalt mixtures, which affects the service life of asphalt pavement. ISS is a critical …

A modified wheel tracking test was developed to investigate the internal structure change of
asphalt mixture under wheel loading. The sectional images of two-layer specimens after …

Compaction plays a pivotal role in the formation of the aggregate skeleton of concrete
mixtures, especially for stiff mixes such as Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC). RCC is …
