Investigation of Environmental and Dynamic Loading Impacts on Flexible Pavement Responses in Cold Climate Conditions
DownloadFall 2016
Flexible pavement design methods have undergone a paradigm shift with particular attention to mechanistic-based approaches, which are based on the actual pavement’s structural behaviour and reflect the pavement performance. The mechanistic design procedures rely on the pavement’s critical...

Pavements in cold regions are prone to frost damages during winter as a result of prolong sever below zero temperature. Frost heave can negatively affect the performance and ride quality of the road. At the end of the frost season, when thawing begins in the sublayers, pore water pressure builds...
