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 …

In order to use recycled materials in the composition of greener and cleaner concrete
products, it is vital to ensure that the produced concrete have the appropriate level of …

The pre-and post-cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures depends on factors such as the
coherence of the soft asphalt matrix (SAM) section, which should be considered. The SAM …

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 effect of adding recycled tire rubber granules on pure mode I and II fracture behaviors of
ordinary cement concrete is investigated using a testing specimen called the Edge Notch …

Escalating the price of asphalt binder and environmental issues have led to an increasing
desire to use high amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material in asphalt …

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 …

A number of fracture criteria are available for predicting the cracking behavior under
combined contribution of opening-tearing damage mechanism (ie mixed-mode I/III). But …

Abstract Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) is a relatively new composite concrete material
type. The development of RPC aims to achieve a microstructural improvement primarily …
