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 …

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) is more susceptible to macroscopic cracks than other mixtures due
to insufficient aggregate-bitumen adhesion, especially at low temperatures. In this study, the …

In this paper, the influence of support type on mode II fracture experiments of asphalt
concrete is investigated. The experiments were performed using three various types of …

This paper deals with the effect of basalt fibres on fracture toughness of asphalt mixture. For
this purpose, basalt fibres with three different contents (ie, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% by weight …

This paper investigates the effect of Nano Fe2O3 and CNTs (carbon nanotubes) on fracture
properties of HMA (hot mix asphalt) mixtures subjected to mixed mode I and II loading. Semi …

The single-edge notched bend (SENB) test has been widely employed to characterize the
low-temperature fracture characteristics of asphalt mixtures. In this test, the pre-fabricated …

In this paper, two natural fibers (ie kenaf and basalt) are dispersed into WMA (warm mix
asphalt) concretes to study their effect on fracture strength. The WMA concretes are …

Low-temperature cracking of asphalt pavements is a major issue in highway construction.
The deterioration of fracture resistance in asphalt pavements is accelerated by traffic loads …

The present study deals with the numerical analysis of the symmetric contact problem of two
bonded layers resting on an elastic half plane compressed with a rigid punch. In this context …

Asphalt concrete components including binder, aggregate and air void play important roles
in the fracture mechanism of asphalt pavements in cold regions. In this research, effects of …
