Bridge Weigh-In-Motion systems measure bridge strain caused by the passing of a truck
to estimate static axle weights. For this calculation, they commonly use a static
algorithm that takes the bridge influence line as ...
Bridge codes adopt values for dynamic allowance in traffic load models that are necessarily conservative
to cover for an entire range of bridges with different mechanical characteristics, boundary conditions, and the ...
This paper presents the results of an investigation into the fatigue performance of a 20mm Binder Course Asphalt Pavement Mix incorporating Recycled Asphalt Pavement
(RAP). For the study, a series of binder course mixes ...
This paper presents the results of ongoing research on the mechanical performance of a 20mm binder course asphalt pavement mix incorporating recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). A series of binder course mixes were designed ...
A road develops permanent deformation or fatigue damage because of the stress and strain induced in its structure by surface loading and environmental change. Dynamic tyre forces generated by the vibration of moving heavy ...
A road develops permanent deformation and fatigue damage because of the strains induced in its
structure by surface loading and environmental change. A mechanistic-empirical approach is
implemented here to simulate the ...
A panel of repetitively branched synthetic molecules known as dendrimers is used to identify and differentiate between different strains of the prion infectious agent, the protein-based pathogen responsible for prion ...
This paper investigates the applicability of a cohesive zone model for simulating the performance of bituminous material subjected to quasistatic loading. The Dugdale traction law was implemented within a finite volume ...
This paper presents the physical properties of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and its influence on the mechanical performance of a binder course asphalt pavement mix. A series of binder course mixes were designed containing ...
In this paper we seek to make use of the newly available Irish component of the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) in order to develop a measure of consistent poverty that overcomes some ...
