Top-down cracking (TDC) has been widely reported as a primary mode of distress in asphalt
pavements. Currently, there is no consensus on a practical laboratory cracking test that can …

Stress-absorption interlayer (SAI) is one of the most important methods to prevent reflection
cracking. This paper analyzed the properties of SAI with the waste tire rubber (WTR) and …

This paper reports on a newly proposed methodology for characterizing asphalt concrete
(AC) mixtures with the Overlay Tester (OT). The methodology considers two stages of …

The crack propagation of a large-size asphalt mixture (LSAM) with three temperatures, three
asphalt aggregate ratios, three displacements, and short-term and long-term aging is …

Several highway agencies have either implemented or considered implementing
performance tests to predict the cracking potential of asphalt concrete (AC) mixes in the …

The overlay tester (OT) is a relatively new testing procedure that characterizes the fatigue
cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures by evaluating the number of cycles to failure of a …

A large‐stone asphalt mixture (LSAM) is usually used as the base course of asphalt
pavement to prevent the generation of cracks. However, there are few studies on the fracture …

The overlay tester (OT) is considered by several highway agencies as an index test to
evaluate the cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures in the laboratory. The OT simulates the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the fatigue cracking performance of geogrid-
reinforced Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) for use in airfield runways. An airfield HMA mixture with …

Premature cracking of the asphalt concrete (AC) layer in flexible pavement is one of the
major concerns of the pavement community. Over the past decade, AC mixes have been …
