Phase change materials (PCMs) can regulate the temperature in asphalt pavement and
minimize temperature-related problems, such as rutting and thermal cracking, because of …

Thermal cracking is one of the most annoying distresses in asphalt pavements. The cracking
of asphalt pavements caused by extremely low temperature and the damage of thermal …

Low temperature cracking (LTC) distress on pavement seriously affects road life. This paper
finished a literature review of the research on the mechanism of LTC of asphalt composites …

In order to characterize the effects of aggregate characteristics on the low-temperature
cracking characteristics of asphalt mixtures, a virtual approach for the thermal stress …

At low temperature, epoxy asphalt is a brittle material and presents insufficient resistance to
deformation. In this research, a new approach was proposed by introducing PEG with …

The alternative Stone Mastic Asphalt containing an increased amount of bituminous mastic
bituminous mixtures (SMA-MA) have been successfully used for additional protective layers …

Low-temperature cracking is one of the main causes of pavement distress in colder areas
with below-freezing temperatures. Resistance of asphalt to this cracking depends on a …

Preparing phase change materials (PCMs) with appropriate phase-change temperatures is
of great significance in preventing the low-temperature disease in pavements. In this study …

This study aims to develop a new index to evaluate the low-temperature cracking
performance (LTCP) of recycled asphalt mixtures. To achieve this, the assumption that …

The unique thermal stress environment of asphalt supporting layer (ASL) in the slab track
system is critical to its service safety. The extra thermal load is responsible for causing large …
