Performance of Asphalt Rubber Mixture Overlays to Mitigate Reflective Cracking
Adequately predicting overlay behaviour is essential for flexible pavement rehabilitation to reach the predicted lifespan. Reflective cracking is one of the main failure mechanisms affecting overlay performance. This failure may occur due to cracks in the lower layers that propagate to the overlay due to traffic loads, temperature variations, shrinkage

Residual stress relaxation and microstructure in ZnO thin films [PDF]
Stability under normal environmental conditions over a long period of time is crucial for sustainable thin-film device performance. Pure ZnO films with thicknesses in the 140 - 450 nm range were deposited on amorphous glass microscope slides and (100 ...

Effect of Aggregate Gradation on Reducing Reflection Crack
e rehabilitation of cracked flexible pavement roads by overlaying, without any improvement, is rarely a durable solution, as the cracks rapidly propagate through the new asphalt layer.

Penetration Form of Inter-Hole Cracks under Double-Hole Blasting Conditions with Inclined Fissures
During blasting construction in tunnel engineering, an inclined fissure near the blast hole produces the “Z” type of over-excavation and subsequently affects the overall blasting effect and stability of the tunnel.
