Cracking in asphalt concrete (AC) layers is among the driving modes of flexible pavement
deterioration. Material properties, along with structural layer characteristics and external …

In this study, fracture energy and fracture toughness are used to investigate the fracture
behaviour of Asphalt Concrete Composites (ACC) in pure mode I and III using Edge Notch …

Aging can significantly affect the performance of asphalt mixtures, causing increase in
stiffness, reduction in relaxation capability and increase in cracking susceptibility. It is also …

Aging can significantly affect the viscoelastic properties and cracking behavior of asphalt
mixtures, causing increase in stiffness, reduction in relaxation capability, and increase in …

The semi-circular bending (SCB) test is becoming a more popular candidate for measuring
asphalt mixtures fracture properties. It is a simple and inexpensive test, the sample …

The usage of Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) in asphalt pavements has gained renewed interest
due to its potential sustainability, economic, and performance benefits. This study focuses on …
