Cool surfaces and shade trees to reduce energy use and improve air quality in urban areas

Hashem Akbari, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of temperature trends for the last 100 years in several large U.S. cities indicate that, since ∼1940, temperatures in urban areas have increased by about 0.5-3.0°C.

Effects of heavy-vehicle characteristics on pavement response and performance

Thomas D. Gillespie, +6 more
- 01 Jan 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the significance of truck, tire, pavement, and environmental factors as determinants of pavement damage was assessed. But, the damage is specific to pavement properties, operating conditions, and other factors.

Determination of pneumatic tyre/pavement interface contact stresses under moving loads and some effects on pavements with thin asphalt surfacing layers

M De Beer, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the quantification of three-dimensional tyre/pavement contact stresses for vehicle tyres, using the Vehicle-Road Surface Pressure Transducer Array (VRSPTA) system to measure contact stresses under moving loads.

Dynamic effects of moving loads on road pavements: A review

Niki D. Beskou, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the dynamic response of road pavements to moving loads on their surface, where the loads are concentrated or distributed of finite extent, may vary with time and move with constant or variable speed.

Viscoelastic constitutive model for asphalt concrete under cyclic loading

Hyun Jong Lee, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to uniaxial viscoelastic constitutive modeling of asphalt concrete is presented, which accounts for damage evolution under cyclic loading conditions.
