Experimental and statistical investigation on the performance of asphalt overlays reinforced with geocomposite in controlling the reflective cracks under different loadings and temperatures

open access: yesSN Applied Sciences, 2023
One of the easiest method to repair the old pavement is to apply an overlay on them. However, the deteriorated pavement affects the overlay performance by propagating the existing cracks upwards to the overlay due to the stress and strain concentration ...

Mechanistic–Empirical Analysis of Pavement Performance Considering Dynamic Axle Load Spectra Due to Longitudinal Unevenness

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Pavement distresses are induced by mechanistic responses in pavement structure subjected to dynamic loads of moving vehicles. Pavement surface evenness deteriorates as pavement distresses propagate, which results in dynamic axle loads and faster pavement

Reflective cracking behavior for traffic and temperature effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents a study on the influence of the effects of temperature variations, in comparison with traffic effects, on the reflective cracking overlay behavior. It is intended to contribute to the improvement of the pavement overlay design methods which consider reflective cracking as one among distress criteria.

Laboratory Validation of Surface-Initiated Transverse Cracking of Asphalt Pavement

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Field pavement transverse cracking typically can be grouped into two categories, namely thermal cracking that initiates at the surface of the pavement and propagates downward, and reflective cracking that initiates at the pavement layer above the ...
