Application of shakedown theory in the structural design of bituminous pavements

Excessive rutting, one of the major distress modes of bituminous pavements, is mainly caused by the accumulation of load-induced permanent deformation. However, current pavement design approaches against the excessive rutting are mainly developed using the theory of elasticity. Recently, a new pavem...
