This paper studies the effect of crack repairing process on the behavior of pavement at four
ambient low and medium temperatures ranging from− 20° C to 30° C. Asphalt mixture …

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 …

Various methodologies and frameworks have been developed for extended finite element
method (XFEM) to simulate two-dimensional and three-dimensional microcrack initiation …

Semi-circular bending (SCB) test is widely used to characterize the fracture behaviors of
asphalt mixtures. In this study, heterogeneous models of SCB specimens were prepared …

Fatigue crack growth in asphalt pavements under vehicle load may primarily occur within the
asphalt fine aggregate matrix (FAM) phase of the mixture. This study aims to predict fatigue …

The main objective of this study is to obtain fracture toughness of asphalt concrete modified
by Crumb Rubber (CR) and Sasobit at low temperatures. First, Bending Beam Rheometer …

This research deals with the effect of support type on the fracture toughness and fracture
energy of asphalt concrete at various temperatures of− 20,− 10, 0, 10 and 20° C. Fracture …

This study investigates the low temperature performance of warm mix asphalt (WMA)
reinforced by randomly distributed jute fibers. WMA is a kind of asphalt mixture that is …

Previous studies are mainly concentrated on the use of the semi-circular bend (SCB)
specimen for determining the entire mixed-mode I-II fracture toughness of rock, while less …

The semi-circular bend (SCB) specimen has been utilized to investigate the effect of support
type on the mode I fracture toughness of polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA). A total of 68 …
