Design of poroelastic wearing course with the use of direct shear test
PublicationPoroelastic Road Surfaces (PERS) are characterized by porous structure with at least 20% of air void content and stiffness almost 10 times lower than typical asphalt course. Such properties enable noise reduction up to 12 dB in comparison to SMA 11 mixture. However, the main disadvantage of previously used poroelastic mixtures, based on resin type binders, was their low durability, which resulted in raveling and delamination from...

Optimisation and field assessment of poroelastic wearing course bond quality
PublicationCompared to typical asphalt mixtures, poroelastic mixtures are characterised by high porosity and high flexibility, which are desirable for traffic noise reduction. However, the same properties increase the risk of debonding from the lower layer, which is a significant source of premature damage. The study investigates which of the factors – tack coat agent, type and texture of the lower layer – have the greatest impact on interlayer...

Homoclinics for singular strong force Lagrangian systems
PublicationWe study the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of generalized Lagrangian systems in the plane, with a C1-smooth potential with a single well of infinite depth at a point ξ and a unique strict global maximum 0 at the origin.Under a strong force condition around the singular point ξ, via minimization of an action integral, we will prove the existence of at least two geometrically distinct homoclinic solutions.
