Low-temperature cracking is one of the main types of distress that affects asphalt pavement
performance over its service life. At the same time, the accumulation of plastics, especially …

Brittle cracking is one of the most important causes of catastrophic destruction in structures
and infrastructures made of cement-based materials. Researchers have tried to reduce the …

The brittleness of concretes can be reduced by adding fibers. For decades, elastic fibers
such as glass fiber were used in concretes, making them stronger; nowadays, significant …

Aquatic environments can be severely harsh, so structures need suitable materials to
endure them. Among the materials promising for aquatic environments are cementitious …

In this paper, the effect of friction on the interactions between the supports and test specimen
is investigated in the fracture tests under pure mode I, pure mode II, and pure mode III …

Common procedures to incorporate the recycled crumb rubber (CR) in asphalt binders take
a long time and use a high-temperature heating process, which makes these rubberized …

Polymer adhesives have considerable mechanical and environmental privileges; however,
their high price makes them uncommercial for common uses. This study investigates the …

Interpenetrating phase composites (IPC) materials are designed to combine the advantages
of made-from materials or develop an intended behavior. Recently, the use of 3D printed …

In recent years, there has been a growing trend in utilizing fibers to improve the crack
resistance of asphalt mixtures. However, the examination of steel fiber's impact on the crack …

Green cementitious materials are usually developed by the addition of high volumes of
mineral fillers. However, the addition of minerals can result in the reduction of mechanical …
