Guo, Y. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author)Railway ballast is normally made of crushed rocks with grading (particle size distributions). Ballast is inevitably suffering from more rapid degradation. Because ballast keeps undergoing and dissipating most of the train loadings, furthermore, the train speed and freight weight are increasing, causing more intensive loadings to ballast. To...book chapter 2022

Jing, R. (author), Varveri, Aikaterini (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Bitumen ageing is one of the principal factors causing the deterioration of asphalt pavements. As bitumen ages, the pavement loses its ability to relax stresses during loading/unloading and thermal cooling process, thus the risk of cracking increases. Oxidation and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are believed to be the main factors that can cause...book chapter 2021
