A Comparison between a Shakedown Design Approach and the Analytical Design Approach in the UK for Flexible Road Pavements
Abstract Recently a shakedown approach has been proposed for structural design of flexible road pavements (Wang and Yu, 2013a). This new approach makes use of both elastic and plastic properties of materials, and therefore represents an advance from ...

The Identification of Infrastructure Characteristics Influencing Travel Speeds on Single-carriageway Roads to Promote Self-explaining Roads
Abstract Road design characteristics should deliver a clear message to drivers on the appropriate speeds. This approach is known in the literature as “self-explaining roads” (SER). In Israel, new guidelines for setting speeds on the road network...

Railway Ballast: Grain Shape Characterization to Study its Influence on the Mechanical Behaviour
Abstract As several studies showed, mechanical performance of ballast depends greatly on its size, mineralogy and shape. Unlike the formers, particle shape remains a poorly specified property. The main objective of the study is then to first...
