Influence of Reflective Cracks on the Mesoscopic Mechanical Behavior of Asphalt Pavement Structures
To gain an in-depth understanding of the mechanical behavior of existing asphalt pavement structures affected by reflective cracks, a macro‑meso coupled model of a typical semi-rigid base asphalt pavement was established based on a continuum‑discrete ...

Field Evaluation of Engineering Fabrics for Asphalt Concrete Resurfacing - Audubon County, HR-360, Final Report, 2001 [PDF]
An ACC overlay is most often the rehabilitative effort used to maintain the serviceability of either an ACC or PCC pavement. The major problem in durability of this ACC overlay comes from reflective cracking.

Surface textures that result in high optical yields are crucial for high efficiency photovoltaic (PV) devices. In this work three different texturing approaches are presented that result in smooth concave structures devoid of sharp features.

Performance of TenCate Paving Interlayers in Asphalt Concrete Pavements [PDF]
As a continued effort of a previously completed project entitled “Performance of TenCate Mirafi PGM-G4 Interlayer-Reinforced Asphalt Pavements in Alaska,” this project evaluated two newly modified paving interlayers (TruPave and Mirapave) through overlay,

On the exceptional damage-tolerance of gradient metallic materials [PDF]
An experimental study is described on the fracture toughness and micro-mechanisms associated with the initiation and propagation of cracks in metallic nickel containing marked gradients in grain size, ranging from ∼30 nm to ∼4 μm.

Neural Networks Modeling of Stress Growth in Asphalt Overlays due to Load and Thermal Effects during Reflection Cracking [PDF]
Although several techniques have been introduced to reduce reflective cracking, one of the primary forms of distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays of flexible and rigid pavements, the underlying mechanism and causes of reflective cracking are not yet

Laboratory characterization of temperature induced reflection cracks
A hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay is one of the primary strategy for rehabilitating existing HMA pavements and Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. The current design program, FAARFIELD, does not address reflective cracking for asphalt-overlaid concrete pavements due to its mechanism complexity.

Cracking Characteristics of Different Crack Forms in Pavement under Moving Load
In road engineering, the crack damage problems are one of the essential research areas that need to be emphasized. However, there have been few researches on the effects caused by different crack forms, e.g., the impacts of the distribution and ...
