Numerical simulation on reflective cracking behavior of asphalt pavement

Cracks are one of the main problems that plague road workers. A correct understanding of the internal crack propagation mechanism of asphalt pavement will help road workers evaluate the road’s working status more comprehensively and make more reasonable decisions in design, construction, and maintenance work. This paper established a three...

Stability Evaluation of Concrete Structure Considering the Local Damage Using Nondestructive Detection and Numerical Analysis

Shield tunneling is one of the most important technologies for building of underground engineering. Many grouting holes were prefabricated for the requirement of backfill grouting, which is easy to induce local damages and potential disasters, such as leakage and cracking. Accordingly, an integrated workflow for damage detection and stability...

Viscoplasticity for instabilities due to strain softening and strain-rate softening
