Poster summary

In a context where road networks are aging, and where resources for maintenance of these networks are decreasing, it is important to better control and understand the mechanisms of degradation of wearing courses in order to optimize their formulation and maintenance. To investigate the degradation of the surface layers, a deeper understanding of tire-pavement interaction is important for the accurate analysis of load-induced responses of the asphalt pavement.
