Asphalt materials exhibit intrinsic healing capabilities. Researchers have carried out
numerous investigations to characterize various aspects related to healing in asphalt …

The results of an experimental campaign performed on several bituminous mixtures using
ultrasonic wave propagation are presented in this paper. With regard to compression “P” …

Early failure of asphalt pavements is a common issue all around the world. Damages are
caused by various reasons like insufficient binder or aggregate quality, an inadequate mix …

Fatigue cracking is the most common failure mechanism of bituminous pavements. Asphalt
binders gives cohesion to the mixture, and are therefore particularly prone to fatigue. The …

A new fatigue test on bituminous binders was developed in ENTPE/DGCB laboratory in
collaboration with the Total company. A prototype of annular shear rheometer is used, as …

When testing asphalt binders under cyclic conditions, a drop in modulus is observed. This
decrease has been explained by an increase in the temperature of materials due to energy …

This paper studies the reduction in complex modulus when a bituminous binder is subjected
to the fatigue test, along with the ability of this material to recover such a loss in modulus. It …

Asphalt concrete is a heterogeneous material containing a viscoelastic bituminous matrix
and elastic aggregates. When testing asphalt materials under cyclic loading, various …

Asphalt mastic, the combination of fine-grained mineral particles and asphalt binder, plays a
significant role on the performance of Hot Mix Asphalt mixtures. A clear understanding of the …

Fatigue cracking is considered one of the main damage mechanisms in asphalt pavement
design. Design methods use fatigue laws obtained by laboratory testing of the materials …
