The semi-circular bending (SCB) test has gained popularity for cracking evaluation of
asphalt concrete due to its simplicity in the test setup and sample preparation. The current …

This research investigated fracture damage of conventional dense and modified gap-and
open-graded asphalt mixes using Semi-Circular Bending test. Fracture damage parameters …

Asphalt mixtures behave as linear viscoelastic materials when subjected to loading
conditions that are similar to pavement operating conditions. Thus, this study proposed a …

Fracture due to mechanical loads is one of the main distresses of asphalt concrete (AC)
pavement. Characterisation of fracture properties of AC is thus vital. The semi-circular …

Semi-circular bend (SCB) testing has been widely used to evaluate the cracking resistance
of asphalt mixtures. However, it remains unresolved which of the various SCB protocols can …

Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has been used recently in warm-mix asphalt (WMA) as
a part of sustainable and green pavement design. The main issue of using high RAP content …

Over recent years, the necessity of reducing the environmental impact of building new
infrastructures has increasingly directed research toward developing innovative …

Basalt fiber is widely used in pavement engineering for its strong mechanical properties,
while its smooth surface can cause it to slip within the asphalt mixture, weakening the overall …

This study presents a framework to identify the low-temperature viscoelastic properties of
asphalt concrete using the disk-shaped compacted tension (DC (T)) creep test. Due to the …

Since most asphalt pavement distresses are directly related to material fracture resistance,
characterizing its properties has been extensively studied through laboratory testing and …
