Determining the bituminous mixture's resistance against elastic deformations is a critical
parameter for designers. The presented standards have reviewed this index for semi-circular …

Moisture susceptibility and cracking are considered as two major causes of distress in
asphalt pavement, which are developed and expanded under environmental factors such as …

Cracking is considered to be one of the most important distress of the Warm Mix Asphalt
(WMA) mixture, which can occur in different climatic conditions due to a lack of proper bonds …

Fracture toughness and fracture energy have been used as the main fracture indices to
evaluate asphalt mixtures' fracture resistance. Recently, some cracking-related index …

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 …

The fracture properties of an asphalt mixture specimen can be different due to variation in
raw material characteristic, mixture design, method of the mixture production, and …

Top-down crack (TDC) as one of the pavement distresses, has a significant contribution to
the quality of pavement service. Low-temperature top-down crack, which are subcategories …

The study of the short-and long-term cracking behavior of asphalt pavement under tensile
and tear deformations, and the production of sustainable mixtures using recycled additives …

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 …

The fatigue fracture behaviour of hot asphalt mixtures (HMA) has been studied using a
newly proposed semi-circular bending (SCB) test. Fracture properties of asphalt mixtures …
