In this paper, the effect of friction on the interactions between the supports and test specimen
is investigated in the fracture tests under pure mode I, pure mode II, and pure mode III …

Polymer concrete is a relatively new concrete in which a matrix made of a polymeric resin
material is used to bind the ingredients. In this paper, 288 specimens made of 72 different …

One of the ways to modify bitumen and asphalt mixture characteristics is to use recycled
Crumb Rubber (CR). Although using CR improves the mechanical properties of asphalt …

The asphalt industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact and
improve economic efficiency. Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technologies have been developed …

This paper aims to provide an investigation of the impact of supports on fracture mode of
loading using semi-circular bending (SCB) specimen. A crack with an angle of α is assumed …

Pavement engineering has always relied on asphalt concrete as the primary material. As a
result, increasing the quality of asphalt concrete for greater performance and longer …

This study investigates how the diameter of specimens impacts the cracking behavior of
asphalt mixtures. Testing was conducted on SCB specimens with diameters of 64, 86, and …

This research investigates the impact of specimen size on the fracture properties of asphalt
concrete. Fracture experiments were conducted on semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens …

In response to the worldwide inclination towards sustainability and circular economy targets,
there is a need to employ innovative and eco-friendly paving technologies. This research …

The main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of moisture damage on the fatigue
and cracking behaviors of warm mix asphalt (WMA) containing reclaimed asphalt pavement …
