Multiscale characterization and modeling of aggregate contact effects on asphalt concrete’s tension–compression asymmetry
Asphalt concrete (AC) exhibits significant tension–compression (TC) asymmetry and aggregate contacts can be one of the critical contributors to this behavior. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear, and there has been no study to quantify this behavior. To fill the research gap, m...
