Abstract:
To evaluate transverse cracks on a semi-rigid asphalt pavement by falling weight deflectometer (FWD), a three-dimensional (3D) dynamic finite-element (FE) model to calculate the deflections of transverse-cracked semi-rigid asphalt pavements under FWD loading was developed and validated by in-situ FWD tests. Then, the effect of crack types and crack width on the deflection basin was investigated for semi-rigid asphalt pavements under different interlayer contact conditions. The relationship between transverse cracks and deflection basin parameters (DBPs) was also analyzed. Finally, the slope ra

Abstract:
There are numerous cracks on soil surface in nature. These cracks are mainly formed by the continuous water loss and shrinkage of soil under evaporation. Cracks have an important effect on the properties of soil. The analysis of soil moisture movement and cracking characteristics under evaporation is of great significance to the engineering construction in the cracked soil area. In this work, an experimental study was conducted to investigate the development of soil cracks. Crack geometrical parameters were acquired at various developmental stages. According to this, the crack evolution charac

Abstract:
Cracking development in soils is of significance for their physical and mechanical properties. The fines content in soils is one of the most important factors in cracking development, leading to it being of great importance to quantitatively study how the cracking development is influenced by the fines content. In this paper, experimental simulations on soil surface cracking were first conducted in the lab with soil from Jiangjia Valley. Digital image processing technology was then applied to investigate cracking in soil with different fines content by describing the surface cracks with crack

Abstract:
Because of the high strength and sound stability, the cement stabilized base has been widely used in high grade pavement in China. But shrinkage cracking are easy to occur in the cement stabilized base. Under the repeating action of traffic loads and temperature loads, this kind of cracks are easy to propagate towards the asphalt surface, being called “reflective crack”. Shrinkage cracks are not normally avertable in the cement stabilized base, in contrast with a few wide cracks of broad spacing, numerous thin cracks of narrow spacing contribute little to the severe reflection cracking.

Abstract:
Abstract Transverse cracking was examined in cotyledon tissue of snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. ‘Apollo’), pea (Pisum sativum L. ‘Garfield 81’), and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. ‘Surutato 77’). The hypothesis that imbibitional cracks develop along lines of least resistance or along preexisting cracks was evaluated. Columns of tissue were cut from cotyledons. Time from the start of imbibition to detection of the first crack was compared between whole bean cotyledons and columns. Bean columns cracked transversely with respect to the long axes of the columns. They did not crack longitudinally,

Abstract:
Thermomechanical fatigue experiments were performed with austenitic stainless Sanicro 25 steel. Several amplitudes of mechanical strain in a wide temperature interval (250-700 °C) were applied to the specimens. Mechanical response was recorded and fatigue lives were obtained. Scanning electron microscopy combined with FIB technique was used to study the mechanism of crack initiation in in-phase and in out-of-phase thermomechanical cycling. Different mechanisms of the crack initiation were found in these two types of loading. During in-phase loading fatigue cracks start in grain boundaries by c

Abstract:
Abstract Reflective cracking is a major concern for engineers facing the problem of road maintenance and rehabilitation. The problem appears due to the presence of cracks in the old pavement layers that propagate into the pavement overlay layer when traffic load passes over the cracks and due to the temperature variation. The stress concentration in the overlay just above the existing cracks is responsible for the appearance and crack propagation throughout the overlay. The analysis of the reflective cracking phenomenon is usually made by numerical modeling simulating the presence of cracks in

Abstract:
Cracks appeared in concrete structure is always concerned in construction engineering. As the cracks appear, the rigidity of structure will descend. So only the combination of slip theory and the non-slip theory could reflect the development of cracks in the course of analysis of cracks development. For axial tension and bending components, stiffness changes before and after cracking. The continuous beam with equal span is analyzed under the temperature load by the finite element method. As the cracks with different space appear, there is an abrupt bending moment with every crack. Different cr

Abstract:
Many automated systems for crack analysis have been developed to measure the extent and severity of pavement cracking objectively. However, the accuracy of such an automated crack analysis system has not been satisfactory. This paper presents a crack type index (CTI) that can be easily adopted to determine the crack type objectively as longitudinal, transverse, and alligator cracking. The CTI is based on the spatial distribution of the image tiles rather than image pixels, where a tile is defined as a subimage of a whole digital image. The spatial distribution of image tiles is analyzed vertic

We have investigated the effect of cracking, saturation, and uniaxial stress on the velocity of P and S waves in two orthogonal directions (anisotropy) and the velocity of S waves with two orthogonal polarizations in each direction of propagation (birefringence). The effect of cracking, saturation, and uniaxial stress on Poisson’s ratio has also been investigated. The velocity aniso
