Mehta, Yusuf; Najafi, Fazil – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2004
Flexible pavement materials exhibit complex mechanical behavior, in the sense, that they not only show stress and temperature dependency but also are sensitive to moisture conditions. This complex behavior presents a great challenge to the faculty in bringing across the level of complexity and providing the concepts needed to understand them. The…
