Abstract Porous asphalt pavement is a sustainable infrastructure tool used to benefit urban resilience. This paper summarizes the design, construction, and maintenance practices of porous pavements (PAPs) specific cold regions. It includes discussions on structural design considering frost depth heave subgrade soils, material selection for adequate freeze-thaw durability, construction PAPs in w...

Multi-criteria decision making methods (MCDM) have been widely used throughout the last years to assist project contractors in selection processes related to the construction field. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are an especially suitable discipline to implement these techniques, since they involve important impacts on each branch of sustainability: economy, environment and society....

This paper presents a computational modeling study of the microstructural influence on damage behavior of asphalt materials. Computer generated asphalt samples were created for numerical simulation in indirect tension and compression testing geometries. Our previously developed micromechanical finite element model was used in the simulations. This model uses a special purpose finite element tha...
