Thermal cracking is one of the most annoying distresses in asphalt pavements. The cracking
of asphalt pavements caused by extremely low temperature and the damage of thermal …

In semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, shrinkage cracks in semi-rigid base propagate upward
to the asphalt surface and cause reflective crack. Many methods have been conducted to …

Bending beam test is widely used for evaluating the tensile strength of asphalt concrete
(AC). The test results are strongly influenced by the types of raw materials and their …

Thermal stresses are leading factors that influence low-temperature cracking behavior of
asphalt pavements. During winter, when the temperature drops to significantly low values …

Nonlinear matrices employed in asphalt-based composites exhibit a prominent nonlinear
elastic-viscoplastic-viscodamageable mechanical response. The constitutive model for this …

The purpose of this paper is to develop a new method to improve the service life of asphalt
pavement adding the geocell as reinforcement for asphalt mixture. A series of splitting …

The low-temperature performance of asphalt mixtures was a critical factor that investigated
the thermal cracking of asphalt pavement in cold regions of the world. Many scholars have …

Asphalt pavement is subjected to external loads including mechanical loading induced by
traffic and thermal loading induced by thermal variations. The last decades have witnessed …

Cracking is a common early disease of asphalt pavements. To evaluate the temperature
shrinkage cracking resistance of an open-graded friction course (OGFC), the viscoelastic …

Currently, a variety of asphalt mixture cracking characterization tests are available as
screening tools for the better selection of high-quality raw materials and also for the …
