Different Mechanical Properties in Tension and Compression of Semi-Flexible Pavement Materials and Analysis of its Application Layers

Key Points

• Differing mechanical properties in tension and compression were observed, impacting design choices.
• Tests showed significant variances in material behavior depending on tensile or compressive forces employed.
• Assessment of semi-flexible pavement materials focused on tension and compression responses across various application layers.
• Understanding these properties may enable improved pavement designs, particularly in load-bearing applications.
