Establishing the Location and Magnitude of Critical Tensile Strains and Octahedral Shear Stresses for Design of Asphalt Concrete Pavement Systems

Abstract

dc:description

In recent years, our pavements experienced premature surface cracking and rutting. Traditional mechanistic design procedures account for two modes of failure in asphalt pavements: Fatigue and Rutting.
