One of the most severe problems with flexible asphalt pavements is permanent deformation in form rutting. Accordingly, practice adding fiber elements to mix improve performance under dynamic loading has grown significantly order prevent rutting distress and ensure a safe long-lasting road surface. This paper explores effects combination ceramic (CF), low-cost, easily available mineral fiber, th...

Database queries within a component framework usually take the form of a string passed to an operation in a component’s interface. The interface operation accepts a value of type string as an actual parameter and implements the necessary support to resolve the query. In such an approach, a component’s interface does not explicitly state the queries supported by that component. In this paper, we...

Soft glassy materials exhibit the so-called glassy transition which means that the behavior of the model at low shear rate changes when a certain parameter (which we call the glass parameter) crosses a critical value. This behavior goes from a Newtonian behavior to a HerschelBulkley behavior through a power-law-type behavior at the transition point. In a previous paper we rigorously proved that...

Combined logics have recently deserved much attention. In this paper we develop a detailed study of a form of combination that generalises the temporalisation construction proposed in 9]. It consists of replacing an atomic part (formal parameter) of one (parameterised) logic by another (actual parameter) logic. We provide a categorial char-acterisation of parameterisation and illustrate it with...

Pavement maintenance and repair is a crucial part of pavement management systems. Accurate reliable performance prediction the prerequisite for making reasonable decisions selecting suitable schemes. Rutting deformation, as one most common forms asphalt failures, key index evaluating performance. To ensure accuracy commonly used models, input parameters models need to be understood, coefficient...
