Asphalt binder plays an important role in the overall resistance of an asphalt mixture to
pavement distresses. The rheological properties should be fully characterized before it is put …

This work presents the development of new fatigue performance indices for asphalt binders
based on viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) theory and failure energy. Five plant …

In this work we have studied the fracture behavior of asphalt mixtures, a heterogeneous mix
of hard aggregates (usually in the form of crushed quarried rock) with a petroleum based …

Low temperature cracking is one of the main distresses of asphalt pavement in cold regions.
Stress relaxation characteristics is critical for cracking resistance of asphalt materials …

This paper aims to investigate the influence of thermal history on the intermediate and low-
temperature characterisation of asphalt binders. First, various asphalt binder intermediate …

A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the rutting and stripping potentials of
asphalt mixes using Hamburg Wheel Tracking Device (HWTD). A total of forty-two asphalt …

This paper presents a new criterion to estimate fatigue characteristics of modified asphalt
binders based on fracture mechanics theory. A finite element analysis using the FRANC2D …

Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical technique that measures displacement and
strain by tracking pattern movement in a sequence of captured images during testing. DIC …

Extender oils are relatively new candidates for use as asphalt modifiers to improve low
temperature properties and possibly reduce the total blended binder cost. Investigating the …
