The Effects of Notch Geometry on Fracture Testing of Asphalt Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Asphalt concrete is commonly used as the surface layer on pavements because of its convenience, low cost, and smooth ride (Wagoner, 2005). However, there is a significant problem with the cracking and deterioration of asphalt concrete roads.

Influence of the Mesoscopic Viscoelastic Contact Model on Characterizing the Rheological Behavior of Asphalt Concrete in the DEM Simulation

open access: yes, 2020
The numerical simulation based on the discrete element method (DEM) is popular to analyze the material behavior of asphalt concrete in recent years because of the advantage of the DEM in characterizing the heterogeneous microstructures.

To Infrastructure the Future

open access: yesThe Geographical Journal, EarlyView.
Short Abstract The commentary offers a simple heuristic framework to suggest how geographers might conceive and unlock the potential of alternative modalities of infrastructure‐based futuring to make a difference to how policy and action unfold in spatial future‐making.

“It Will Get Crowded, It Will Get Dull!”: Preventive Sensations of Density in Zurich's Future‐Making

open access: yesCity &Society, Volume 38, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT In Zurich, Switzerland's largest and wealthiest city, future planning around densification has been intensely debated in recent years, spurring referendums and direct democratic votes, and permeating the public discourse through governmental communication, political propaganda, and heightened media coverage.

Experimental Study on Hydraulic Fracturing of High Asphalt Concrete Core Rock-Fill Dam

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In this paper, we experiment on the hydraulic fracturing of asphalt concrete with a voids content higher than 3%, which has arisen from the possible local shear dilatancy of Quxue asphalt’s core wall of concrete core dam, the highest one of the ...

Performance Evaluation of Open Graded Base Course with Doweled and Non-Doweled Transverse Joints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The objectives of this study were to investigate the performance of 20-year old doweled/non-doweled and dense-graded/permeable base test sections on three concrete pavement segments in Wisconsin: USH 18/151 in Iowa and Dane counties, STH 29 in Brown ...

The Microlayer Framework: Extension to Aggregates With Non‐Uniform Shapes

open access: yesPAMM, Volume 26, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The microlayer framework is a novel, powerful method for the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials, such as aggregate‐matrix composites across different scales. While the framework has previously only been applied to geometrically isotropic aggregates, its mathematical formulation also enables the development of material models for ...

Haunting Interruptions: Race, Infrastructural Violence, and Spatial Memory in Ferguson, Missouri, United States

open access: yesAntipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, 2026.
ABSTRACT This article engages race, infrastructural violence, and spatial memory in Ferguson, Missouri—the St. Louis suburb where police killed 18‐year‐old Michael Brown, Jr. in August 2014. It examines Black communities' use of blockades, space‐based protests, and infrastructural disruption in Ferguson before and after the teenager's execution.
