Evaluating the role of aggregate gradation on cracking performance of asphalt concrete for thin overlays [PDF]
, 2019 Thin asphalt concrete overlays are a maintenance technique that mainly restore the functional properties of pavements. One of the main issues in thin overlays is reflective cracking that can cause early deterioration and reduce their service life.

The impact of hydrogen on the ductility loss of bainitic Fe–C alloys [PDF]
, 2016 The influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties of generic lab-cast Fe-C bainitic alloys is studied by tensile tests on notched samples. The bainitic microstructure is induced in a 0.2% C and 0.4% C Fe-C alloy by an appropriate heat treatment. The
