Microstructure Characterization of Asphalt Mixtures with 2- and 3-Point Correlation Functions

The majority of micromechanics models available in the literature to estimate effective properties of asphalt mixtures are based only on the mechanical properties and the volumetric fraction information of its constituents. However, significant improvements in the prediction of these models can be obtained if higher-order microstructural information provided by n-point correlation functions is included. This paper proposes a simplified algorithm...
