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 …

In this contribution, low temperature crack growth resistance of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
mixtures reinforced with two types of fiber, namely natural Jute fiber and synthetic Polyolefin …

In this study, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are shredded in different
sizes and added to the polymer concrete composition to investigate the effect on fracture …

For engineering projects in cold regions, the failure behaviour of jointed rocks is affected by
freeze–thaw (FT) cycle action. To reveal the fracture characteristics of rock under the …

Low temperature cracking is one of the main deterioration and failure modes for pavements.
Hence, in this paper the effect of asphalt characteristic on its mixed mode I/II low temperature …

Determination of fracture toughness (K Ic) for the asphalt mixture concrete requires
employment of suitable testing methods and specimens. Disc-shape specimens are among …

The use of modified asphalt mixtures is a suitable solution for preventing low temperature
cracking of pavements in cold regions. In this paper, mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of …

As an inherent characteristic of materials, the fracture toughness is an important parameter
to study the cracking behavior of asphalt concrete mixtures. Although material compositions …

In this paper two circular shape test specimens are designed and examined for experimental
determination of mode I fracture toughness (K Ic) in different modified hot mix asphalt (HMA) …

In this study, an attempt was made to study the fracture resistance of asphalt concrete
containing vertical cracks (Pure mode II) and angular cracks (Pure mode I) that were …
