This research evaluated the low temperature creep compliance and tensile strength properties of Wisconsin mixtures. Creep compliance and tensile strength data were collected for 16 Wisconsin mixtures representing commonly used aggregate sources and binder grades. Engineering and statistical analyses were performed on the data to provide recommendations for using measured mechanical properties in thermal cracking analyses with the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG), and to evaluate the thermal fracture resistance of Wisconsin mixtures.

Functional Pavement Design is a collections of 186 papers from 27 different countries, which were presented at the 4th Chinese-European Workshops (CEW) on Functional Pavement Design (Delft, the Netherlands, 29 June-1 July 2016). The focus of the CEW series is on field tests, laboratory test methods and advanced analysis techniques, and cover analysis, material development and production, experimental characterization, design and construction of pavements. The main areas covered by the book include: - Flexible pavements - Pavement and bitumen - Pavement performance and LCCA - Pavement structures - Pavements and environment - Pavements and innovation - Rigid pavements - Safety - Traffic engineering Functional Pavement Design is for contributing to the establishment of a new generation of pavement design methodologies in which rational mechanics principles, advanced constitutive models and advanced material characterization techniques shall constitute the backbone of the design process. The book will be much of interest to professionals and academics in pavement engineering and related disciplines.
