DOI: 10.1080/10298436.2018.1489134
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mechanistic-empirical models are developed in this study to characterise top-down cracking (TDC) initiation of asphalt pavements. TDC initiation phase is defined as a stage for micro-cracks to initiate and coalesce into a macro-crack which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1520/jte20180890
Abstract: Fine-grained lateritic soils, which are typically found in tropical regions and have been used successfully in low-cost pavements, are often considered inadequate for the base and subbase pavement layers when the material selection is based… read more here.
