International Journal of Geomechanics

Special Collection on Advances and Innovations in Pavement Technologies and Geomechanic
Guest Editors:
Zhanping You, Jie Han and Hainian Wang

This special collection of the International Journal of Geomechanics focuses on pavements and geomechanics. The articles include contributions on the area of finite element and discrete element models, micro and macro behavior of pavement materials, performance models of flexible and rigid pavements as well as soil and foundation. Some of these contributions are from the highly selected articles submitted to the First International Conference on Transportation Infrastructure and Materials, Xi'an, China in 2016, and more articles were invited from well-known scholars. Additional papers will be added to this collection as they are accepted and published online. Readers are encouraged to visit this page often to find additional content.
