The benefits of applying the crumb rubber modified binders have been widely recognized.
The improvements on low temperature properties of asphalt binders have been proven by …

Although many fracture test procedures are available, the semi-circular bending (SCB) test
has drawn a growing interest in the pavement community due to its simplicity, reproducibility …

This study introduced a cracking parameter, called the Cracking Resistance Index (CRI),
derived from the load-displacement response obtained during a semi-circular bending test …

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 …

The semi-circular bending (SCB) test has gained popularity for cracking evaluation of
asphalt concrete due to its simplicity in the test setup and sample preparation. The current …

Asphalt concrete pavements containing top-down cracks can be subjected to combined
opening-out of plane sliding (ie mixed mode I/III) deformations due to traffic loads. However …

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) …

This paper investigates the fracture toughness of asphalt concretes reinforced with carbon
and kenaf fibers. Pure mode I, pure mode II and mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of …

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 …
