Fatigue and rutting are the two major failure distresses in flexible pavement that affect
significantly the serviceability of pavement. The properties of bitumen have a direct effect on …

Abstract The City of Kingston in Ontario, Canada, has implemented improved asphalt
cement specifications, implemented double-edge-notched tension (DENT) and extended …

The cohesive cracking within asphalt binders has a significant influence on fatigue cracking
resistance of asphalt pavements. To more clearly understand the mechanism and accurately …

This study aims to propose a kinetics-based model of fatigue crack growth rate coupling with
temperature, strain level and damage degree for bituminous materials. The fatigue crack …

Fatigue damage of engineering materials severely affects the serviceability of their
structures. It is impracticable to accurately predict fatigue damage process of engineering …

This study discusses the effect of the filler on the fatigue behaviour of bitumen-filler mastics
by means of strain controlled fatigue tests, with constant and variable load amplitude …

Epoxy asphalt (EA) concrete is widely used in constructing long-span steel bridge
pavements (SBDPs). This study aims to derive a fatigue damage evolution law, conducting …

This study evaluates the impact of hydrated lime (HL) on the cracking performance at
intermediate temperature of asphalt-filler mastics, specifically as a partial replacement for …

With the increased use of reclaimed asphalt (RA), the ability of bituminous materials to resist
fatigue cracking may face a decline mainly due to the aged reclaimed asphalt binder (RAB) …

Foamed bitumen stabilisation (FBS) of degraded pavements has become popular in recent
times. Although the common failure mechanism of FBS materials under repeated heavy …
