Meso Mechanical Analysis of AC Mixture Response

Ongoing research into performance modeling of Asphalt Concrete (AC) mixtures using meso mechanics approaches is being undertaken at Delft University of Technology (TUD). The approach has already been successfully employed for evaluating the long term performance of porous asphalt concrete. The work presented in this paper extends the use for...

Development of an autonomous setup for evaluating self healing capability of asphalt mixtures

It is a well known fact that asphalt mixtures have self healing capabilities. Yet most of the self healing investigations are carried out using complex and time consuming fatigue tests. In order to investigate the self healing capability in a simple and efficient manner, a beam on elastic foundation test setup (BOEF) is proposed in this paper....
