The benefits of applying the crumb rubber modified binders have been widely recognized.
The improvements on low temperature properties of asphalt binders have been proven by …

Although there are many kinds of fracture tests to choose from in evaluating the crack
resistance of asphalt mixture, the semi-circular bending (SCB) test has attracted a lot of …

This paper aims to evaluate the influence of two recycling agents (RAs) on the cracking
behavior of warm mix asphalt (WMA) containing up to 50% reclaimed asphalt pavement …

Escalating the price of asphalt binder and environmental issues have led to an increasing
desire to use high amounts of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material in asphalt …

Low temperature cracking is a major distress form of asphalt pavement. In this study, I–II
mixed mode fracture test was conducted using cohesive zone modeling technique under …

Low-temperature cracking is one of the main types of distress that affects asphalt pavement
performance over its service life. At the same time, the accumulation of plastics, especially …

In cold regions, asphalt concrete cracking caused by low temperature is known as the most
important type of damage to asphaltic surfaces pavements. In rainy areas, the cold may …

This paper investigates the results of brittle fracture in rock materials subjected to the mixed
mode I/II loading using different fracture criteria. Two sets of mixed mode fracture test data in …

Towards measuring the mixed-mode I+ III fracture toughness independent of geometry and
loading type, two test specimens were numerically and experimentally compared. The …

Basalt fiber could effectively improve the crack resistance of asphalt mixture. However, most
cracks in asphalt pavement present complex fracture characteristics. Effect of basalt fiber on …
