Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Fiber Reinforced Concrete Pavement under Dynamic Loading
Journal of Engineering, 2022 The analysis of rigid pavements is a complex mission for many reasons. First, the loading conditions include the repetition of parts of the applied loads (cyclic loads), which produce fatigue in the pavement materials.

Optimization of Rigid Pavement
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022 Abstract: The construction of national highways nowadays is preferred by using rigid pavements as they are durable, have the high flexural strength, can withstand different heavy axle loads, higher design span and moreover they can sustain adverse environmental conditions more efficiently with better ease.

They live under our streets: ant nests (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in urban pavements [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 In the context of global insect decline, the urbanisation process plays a key role. However, urban pavements, which are considered to be impervious to biodiversity, can harbour ground-nesting insects under certain conditions.
