Fatigue performance evaluation on asphalt mixture provides an essential reference for
asphalt mixture design and pavement structure design. Laboratory fatigue test has been …

In cold climates, increased traffic load has increased the damage caused by low-
temperature cracks (LTCs) in asphalt mixes. Due to the viscoelastic behavior of asphalt …

One of the most common pavement distresses is related to surface cracking. Therefore,
identifying and characterizing fracture properties of asphalt mixtures are significant towards …

Asphalt concrete is linear-elastic at low temperatures and visco-elastic–plastic at
intermediate temperatures. Stress intensity factor (KIC) is generally used to evaluate the …

Asphalt pavement cracks not only reduce road life and affect traffic safety but also increase
maintenance costs. These issues can be solved significantly if microwave heating (MH) …

Semi-circular bending (SCB) test is widely used to characterize the fracture behaviors of
asphalt mixtures. In this study, heterogeneous models of SCB specimens were prepared …

To improve the low-temperature crack resistance of asphalt mixture, coal gangue powder
(CGP) and polyester fibre (PF) are added for modifying the performance of asphalt mixture …

The effects of compaction process, mixture type and environmental conditions on mode I
cracking resistance of asphalt concrete (AC) materials was investigated experimentally. To …

The incorporation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in the form of fiber is expected
to provide asphalt mixtures with improved resistance to cracking. It has yet to be fully …

The present study made an effort to investigate the impact of partial and full replacement of
mineral aggregate with Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel slag on the fracture and temperature …
