The use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) in AC
mixtures can reduce demand for virgin aggregates and asphalt binder, bringing …

One of the most common pavement distresses is related to surface cracking. Therefore,
identifying and characterizing fracture properties of asphalt mixtures are significant towards …

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay is regarded as an efficient method to rehabilitate moderately
deteriorated pavements. Despite the application of an adequately designed overlay, when …

The rheological properties of asphalt binders change with aging. Aging is accelerated at
elevated temperatures due to binder oxidation, leading to fatigue cracking and eventually …

A new approach for measuring the specific fracture energy of concrete denoted modified
disk-shaped compact tension (MDCT) test is presented. The procedure is based on previous …

The use of recycled materials in asphalt concrete (AC) pavement has increased significantly
because of their economic and environmental benefits. The use of recycled materials can …

This study examined five field projects in Illinois, with eight different surface mixes having
varying asphalt binder replacement (ABR) achieved by using binders from recycled asphalt …

Most existing fatigue testing methods in the laboratory are designed to evaluate the cracking
resistance of asphalt mixture only, regardless what types of structural support it is used in the …

This paper describes a comprehensive investigation of strain tolerant type reflective crack
relief interlayer systems through fundamental laboratory testing, computer aided design, and …

A new concrete fracture geometry is presented, which can quantify multiple fracture
properties from a single specimen test. The disk-shaped compact tension (DCT) geometry …
