Although there are many kinds of fracture tests to choose from in evaluating the crack
resistance of asphalt mixture, the semi-circular bending (SCB) test has attracted a lot of …

Low temperature cracking is a major distress form of asphalt pavement. In this study, I–II
mixed mode fracture test was conducted using cohesive zone modeling technique under …

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a recycled material that can decrease the
consumption of virgin materials; however, it increases stiffness and brittleness, resulting in …

Low-temperature cracks (LTC) and intermediate-temperature cracks (ITC) are two important
types of cracks in asphalt mixtures that cause damage to pavements and incur high …

The effect of some important testing conditions including test specimen (SCB and ENDB),
fracture mode (I and II), loading rate (0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 mm/min), and temperature (− 5° C …

The fracture of hot mix asphalt (HMA) is accompanied by the energy absorption and release.
Energy includes the dissipated energy (U d), elastic strain energy (U e) and post crack …

Geometry and loading condition of cracked specimens may affect the fracture toughness
results and hence the evaluation of differences in measured fracture toughness values is …

Waste plastic in low noise asphalt mixtures can be a viable alternative to asphalt mixtures
with polymer modified bitumen. The performance of low noise semi dense asphalt (SDA) …

The I-II mixed mode fracture is a typical failure pattern observed in asphalt pavement. In this
study, the fracture behavior under I-II mixed mode of three diverse asphalt mixtures was …

Tensile and shear fracture behaviors of fiber-reinforced cemented paste backfill (FRCPB)
play critical roles in the safe and cost-effective engineering design of underground mine …
