A viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model, which accounts for the effects of rate-
dependent damage growth, has been successfully applied to quantify the reduction in the …

Abstract Fatigue lives of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and binder have been studied separately for
a long time. However, fatigue lives of HMA containing Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) …

Asphalt has an intrinsic self-healing character. However, the rate of damage formation is
much higher than the rate of damage healing. To promote the self-healing capability of …

In order to address the complexity of fracture damage behavior in metallic materials during
service, the thermography technique was used to analyze the temperature evolution …

This paper evaluates the fatigue resistance of surface layer stone mastic asphalt that
incorporates reclaimed asphalt at quantities of 0%, 20% and 40%. The fatigue resistance …

The modulus of asphalt concrete that is conventionally obtained from large amplitude
oscillations (LAOs) in fatigue tests cannot be considered a material property since the …

Laboratory evaluation of elastomer-and plastomer-modified asphalt binders using different
grades of asphalt binders and produced asphalt concrete mixes is the subject of this paper …

Laboratory testing is widely used to characterise fatigue properties of asphalt mixtures for
the design of asphalt pavements. The recently introduced Three-Point Bending Cylinder …

Pavement industry concerns have been increasing in the past decades towards fatigue
cracking due to its negative impact on asphalt pavement performance. Therefore, several …

The four-point beam (4PB) test is extensively used to characterize the fatigue behavior of
asphalt concrete mixtures. But the inhomogeneity of the deformation in the beam is not given …
