Recently, researchers have made effective use of Black Space diagrams to model stiffness
and relaxation changes relating to non-load-associated cracking. A Black Space-based …

In this paper, the effect of physical hardening and aging temperatures on the low
temperature rheological properties of the asphalt binder is experimentally investigated and …

Low-temperature cracking is a critical distress form and is heavily influenced by the
relaxation and strength capabilities of the material. These properties are related to the …

This paper investigates the effect of the glass transition temperature, T g, and the use of
modulus shift factors b T on the measured rheological properties of asphalt binders at low …

The paper presents the issue of low-temperature transverse cracks which have developed in
newly constructed base courses made of high-modulus asphalt concrete mix (HMAC) …

The possibility of using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) with 4 mm parallel plates and 3
mm gap is investigated as an alternative experimental method to measure the rheological …

The paper presents a new method of calculation of thermal stresses in asphalt layers of
pavements induced by cooling or heating. The method, developed by the author, is based …

Abstract High Modulus Asphalt Concrete base course of a motorway under construction
cracked severely during the first winter after paving. The new viscoelastic method of thermal …

Deterioration of asphalt pavement joints is one of the most commonly observed distresses
on Army airfield pavements. Joint opening or cracking is typically caused by low density …

This article presents the results of the computer simulations of a four-point bending test of a
concrete single-edge notched beam. In this publication, the authors compared the X-FEM …
