Analysis of Thermal Stress of Asphalt Pavement on Lean Concrete Base Lijun Suo 1, a, Bin Yang 2, b 1 Civil Engineering Department, Luoyang Institute of Science and Technology, China 2 College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Guangxi University, China a lijunsuo@126.com, b yangbin5612@163.com Keywords: Asphalt pavement, Lean concrete base, Thermal stress, Maximum shearing stress Abstract.
Introduction Though asphalt pavements have been applied widely to highway in China, however, early distresses in asphalt pavements, which caused by uncommon thermal stress, remain a challenge to pavement engineers in recent years.

Calculation of Mechanical Fracture Parameters of Chevron Notched Core Based Concrete Specimen: Software CheF Barbora SVOBODOVÁ1,a, Hana ŠIMONOVÁ1,b* and Zbyněk KERŠNER1,c 1Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Veveří 331/95, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic a127761@vutbr.cz, bsimonova.h@vutbr.cz, ckersner.z@fce.vutbr.cz Keywords: Modulus of elasticity, fracture parameters, core based specimen, three-point bending, chevron type notch.
The contemporary engineering practise is usually limited to used only the elastic and strength characteristics which can be derived from ‘simple’ compressive tests to characterize the structural concrete.
Fig. 1 Scheme of three-point bending fracture test of chevron notched core based concrete specimen Fig. 2 Illustration of selected three-point bending fracture test of chevron notched core based concrete specimen in laboratory of Institute of Building Testing at Faculty of Civil Engineering, Brno University of Technology The above mentioned recorded diagrams together with information about specimen dimensions, cross-section and initial notch are use as input data for below described academic software CheF.
