Peridynamics for Fracture Analysis of Reflective Cracks in Semi-Rigid Base Asphalt Pavement

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Reflective cracking is one of the major forms of deterioration in semi-rigid base asphalt pavements. It is, therefore, very important to have a correct understanding of the internal crack propagation mechanism of asphalt pavement to propose the most ...

Investigation of transverse crack spacing in an asphalt pavement with a semi-rigid base

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Transverse cracking is a serious problem for semi-rigid base asphalt pavement. The shrinkage of the base course and the surface course, as well as reflective cracks, are key factors for transverse cracking in asphalt pavement.

Effects of NIR Reflective Film as a High Tunnel-Covering Material on Fruit Cracking and Biomass Production of Tomatoes

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
Tomatoes require higher irradiance, although the incidence of physiological disorders in fruit increases at high temperatures. Near-infrared (800–2500 nm) (NIR) reflective materials are effective tools to suppress rising air temperatures in greenhouses ...

Gradation Influence on Crack Resistance of Stress-Absorbing Membrane Interlayer

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Reflective cracking is a common distress of old pavement overlaid with an asphalt layer. The asphalt rubber stress-absorbing membrane interlayer can effectively mitigate and prevent reflective cracking.

Mechanistic Responses of Asphalt Concrete Overlay Over Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement Using Finite Element Method

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2020
This study focused on the development of a three-dimensional Finite Element Model of an asphalt concrete overlaid on a jointed plain concrete pavement to assess the mechanical behaviour of the pavement under traffic load.

Influence of Crack Spacing/Layer Thickness Value on Reflection Crack Propagation Mechanism Under Low Temperatures

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The damage of asphalt concrete pavement (AC pavement) structure caused by reflection crack is an urgent problem in many areas of China, especially in cold regions of China, so it is necessary to study how to reduce the reflective cracking and prevent the

Reflections in a cracked mirror [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of General Practice, 2009
How I hate the modern obsession with reflection. After every talk and lecture, at almost every trainers and appraisers meeting for the last few years and in everything associated with the medical learning industry, I am encouraged to reflect. To reflect on what I have learned and to shine that secondhand light on how my new knowledge will change the ...

Non-destructive modulus testing and performance evaluation for asphalt pavement reflective cracking mitigation treatments

open access: yesThe Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2018
Reflective cracking is a common type of pavement distress, which manifests as cracks in an underlying layer propagating through to the surface of a pavement structure.

THE MORTAR DAMAGE AND ITS HARMFUL EFFECTS ON THE GLAZED CERAMIC TILES IN TERBANA MOSQUE – ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT [PDF]

open access: yesShedet, 2017
This research discusses the damaging factors of the mortar used to affix the glazed ceramic tiles on the walls of Terbana mosque (built in 1685, Ottoman period) in Alexandria, Egypt, and the extension of the damaged impact to the ceramic tiles.

Evaluation of Asphalt Overlay Properties on Reflection Cracking Behavior of Composite Pavement Using Finite Element Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesJES: Journal of Engineering Sciences
Reflective cracking poses a significant challenge to the performance and durability of Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlays, particularly when applied over deteriorated Joint Plain Concrete (JPC) pavements.
