Journal Article
Atalan, M., Prendergast, L. J., Grizi, A., & Thom, N. (2022). A Review of Numerical Models for Slab-Asphalt Track Railways. Infrastructures, 7(4), Article 59. https://doi.org/10.3390/infrastructures7040059

Higher train speeds and heavier axle loads trigger elevated stresses and vibrations in the track, potentially increasing track deterioration rates and maintenance costs. Alternative track forms made of combinations of reinforced concrete and asphalt... Read More about A Review of Numerical Models for Slab-Asphalt Track Railways.

Characterisation of fatigue damage in asphalt mixtures using X-ray computed tomography (2022)
Journal Article
Chen, A., Airey, G., Thom, N., & Li, Y. (2022). Characterisation of fatigue damage in asphalt mixtures using X-ray computed tomography. Road Materials and Pavement Design, https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2022.2029756

The high-resolution X-ray CT was applied to investigate the fatigue damage evolution of asphalt mixtures. The detailed Xray CT images in the centre of the samples were used to characterise the fatigue cracking and air voids increase at different vert...
