Discrete Element Method (DEM) Contact Models Applied to Pavement Simulation

Pavement is usually composed of aggregate, asphalt binder, and air voids; rigid pavement is built with hydraulic cement concrete; reinforced pavement contains steel. With these wide ranges of materials, different mechanical behaviors need to be defined in the pavement simulation. But so far, there i...
