Rheology of Road Building materials
FAST-DM53Acad. year: 2009/2010
Basic rheological models of road building materials. Viscoelastic properties and resistance to permanent deformation, low temperature cracking and fatigue under repeated loading and their measurements. Computer modelling of road structure with using elastic and viscoelastic properties of layered pavement structure and subgrade.
