A Comparative Analysis of Resilient Surface Materials in Urban Pavement Design: Evaluating Performance Under Diverse Load Conditions

Abstract

This study investigates the efficacy of various resilient surface materials in urban pavement design, focusing on load-bearing capacities and durability across different environmental conditions. Employing advanced tensile testing and field simulations, we assess the performance of asphalt, concrete, and composite materials under dynamic loading scenarios representative of modern urban traffic. Results reveal significant differences in performance, particularly in regards to thermal expansion, moisture resistance, and maintenance requirements. The findings highlight the potential for optimizing material selection to enhance the longevity and sustainability of urban pavements. This research underscores the importance of material resilience in coping with future urban transportation demands while mitigating maintenance costs.
