Determining stiffness modulus by means of different mechanical testing

Many research on mechanistic testing have come to likely conclusion that different test setup results in different performance. The aim of this paper is to analyse the stiffness modulus resulting from three different test setups, namely; Monotonic Uniaxial Tension Test (MUTT), Monotonic Uniaxial Compression Test (MUCT), and Indirect Tensile...

Characterizing Cracking and Permanent Deformation; An Attempt for Predicting the End of the Structural Pavement Life

Durable, therefore sustainable, road needs to attain specific characteristics, among others, resistance to permanent deformation and cracking. Determining the development of both characteristics are important to be able to predict pavement life and performance. In this research, permanent deformation occurring in three pavement sections was...
