Sustainable and resilient pavement infrastructure is critical for current economic and
environmental challenges. In the past 10 years, the pavement infrastructure strongly …

Reflective cracking, the phenomenon by which cracks propagate through the overlay from
existing damaged pavement, is a major cracking distress for asphalt pavements. Over time …

In cold regions, asphalt concrete cracking caused by low temperature is known as the most
important type of damage to asphaltic surfaces pavements. In rainy areas, the cold may …

Low-temperature cracks (LTC) and intermediate-temperature cracks (ITC) are two important
types of cracks in asphalt mixtures that cause damage to pavements and incur high …

This work presents a repeatable semi circular bending (SCB) fracture test to evaluate the
low temperature fracture resistance of asphalt mixture. The fracture resistance of six asphalt …

A disk-shaped compact tension (DC (T)) test has been developed as a practical method for
obtaining the fracture energy of asphalt concrete. The main purpose of the development of …

The use of modified asphalt mixtures is a suitable solution for preventing low temperature
cracking of pavements in cold regions. In this paper, mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of …

A number of specimen configuration and testing method have been developed till now for
determining the fracture toughness of asphalt concrete. The Edge Notch Disc Bend (ENDB) …

Low temperature cracking is one of the main deterioration and failure modes for pavements.
Hence, in this paper the effect of asphalt characteristic on its mixed mode I/II low temperature …

As an inherent characteristic of materials, the fracture toughness is an important parameter
to study the cracking behavior of asphalt concrete mixtures. Although material compositions …
