Mechanical Properties of Asphalt and Mixtures

Asphalt mixtures are common pavement materials and act as the critical foundation of highway infrastructure. Their mechanical properties are directly related to both the service behavior and service life of the pavement structure. This Reprint focuses on the mechanical properties of asphalt and asphalt mixtures, providing an in-depth look at the recent advancements in this field. It covers essential topics such as the constitutive models of asphalt base materials under multi-physical field coupling, multi-scale mechanical behaviors, and cross-scale performance prediction. Additionally, the compilation explores the rheology of asphalt materials, smart pavement structures, nondestructive testing techniques, and the evaluation of recycled asphalt pavement. By integrating test methods with numerical simulation and artificial intelligence technologies, this Reprint aims to offer an effective path for optimizing the construction, management, and maintenance of modern pavement structures.
