Abstract: Thermal cracking of asphalt pavements is primary distress in cold regions. The Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) can be used as a thermal cracking prediction tool for asphalt mixtures based on AASHTO TP 125. This study investigates ...

Abstract: The semicircular bending (SCB) test characterizes crack resistance by determining the fracture toughness of asphalt mixtures. This test has been favored by many researchers due to the easy sample preparation and the ...
