21. On the quantification of healing in asphalt materials
Abstract : Asphalt materials exhibit self-healing characteristics. In order to evaluate the healing capabilities of these materials, numerous investigations are carried out by researchers. These investigations include various definitions of healing and mechanical test methods to quantify the extent of healing. READ MORE

22. Bridge Overhang Slabs with Edge Beams : LCCA and Structural Analysis for the Development of New Concepts
Abstract : Bridge edge beams are associated with high life-cycle costs because of the need of maintenance, which also causes traffic disturbances. For this reason, the Swedish Transport Administration started a project to find better solutions. One of the proposals was a design without edge beam. READ MORE

23. Modeling frost heave damages throughout the asphalt layer
Abstract : There are various distresses arising from traffic loads and the surrounding environment to whichan asphalt pavement is subjected during its life span. The environment-associated damages aremore severe during winter when abundant moisture and freezing temperature are presentsimultaneously. READ MORE

24. Fatigue of existing steel bridges : Reliability and risk analyses for decision-making
Abstract : Fatigue is one of the primary reasons that limit the service life of steel bridges. Many bridges in Sweden and other countries have progressively approached their anticipated service lives. Since funding and resources are limited, simultaneously replacement or maintenance of bridges is impractical. READ MORE

25. Reliability-based fatigue assessment of existing steel bridges
Abstract : Fatigue is among the most critical forms of deterioration damage that occurs tosteel bridges. It causes a decline of the safety level of bridges over time. Therefore,the performance of steel bridges, which may be seriously affected by fatigue, shouldbe assessed and predicted. READ MORE
