Discrete Element Modelling of Influences of Grain Shape and Angularity on Performance of Granular Mixes for Asphalts
Abstract The greater part of asphalt mixtures is composed of aggregates. This means that particular features, such as shape and angularity, are the primary factors that affect the development of the mechanical performance of asphalt pavements. In...
