ABSTRACT: The most famous model known in prediction of dynamic modulus for asphalt concretes is the Witczak and Hirsh models. These models didn’t use the mineralogical and chemical properties of ...

Carbon fibres and glass fibres are reinforcements for advanced composites and the fiber strength is the most influential factor on the strength of the composites. They are essentially brittle and fail ...
