Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity, yielding and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure, the characteristics of the grains and the disposition of contacts between them. There have been rapid advances in technology both to investigate …

Second International Conference On Road & Airfield Pavement Technology, Volume 1
The Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) study uses Falling Weight Deflectometers (FWDs) to collect deflection data. As part of a study sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, load transfer efficiencies (LTEs) were calculated for all the test points of each section of the LTPP GPS 3, 4, and 5 experiments. From statistical analysis, it was found that the doweled joints have significant…
