Crack-retardation Mechanism of Polymer-modified Micro-Surfacing on Bridge Deck Pavements in High-altitude Cold Regions: A 3D Thermal–mechanical Fracture Analysis
Early-onset fracturing within deck layers poses a significant threat to the durability of composite steel-concrete structures, specifically those subjected to extreme multi-hazard environments characterized by extreme cold, intense solar radiation, and heavy traffic loads. This study explores the mechanism of polymer-m...
