Pradena, M.A. (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author), César, Andrés (author)Aggregate interlock is the dominant load transfer mechanism in non-dowelled Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements, as the innovative short concrete slabs. Although the Load Transfer Efficiency of this pavement innovation is based on that mechanism, the structural design methods do not relate the Load Transfer Efficiency by aggregate interlock with...journal article 2020

Pradena, Mauricio (author), Houben, L.J.M. (author)Pavements are one of the largest assets of a city and their functional condition (ride quality) is priority for their clients. In jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCPs), the presence of joint faulting (JF) reduces the ride quality. Today, short slabs are available as a cost-effective JPCP innovation. The objective of this paper is to analyse...journal article 2019

Xiao, Y. (author)Thin surfacings are widely used as surface layers to provide additional functions and to extend the service life of existing pavements. They can protect the treated road surfaces from external aggressive substances, the degeneration process of weather and the ageing caused by Ultraviolet light and oxygen. Antiskid surfacing is one type of thin...doctoral thesis 2013

Egmond-Weijburg, C. (author), Galjaard, P.J. (author), Van Gurp, C.A.P.M. (author)This report presents an inquiry into cases of pavement design, construction and maintenance in which distress has been observed instigated by deeper subgrade or by inadequate attention for the interaction between subgrade and pavement structure. Almost all cases are situated in areas with subgrade of poor to marginal bearing capacity. The cases...report 2008
