Abstract: The four-point beam (4PB) test is extensively used to characterize the fatigue behavior of asphalt concrete mixtures. But the inhomogeneity of the deformation in the beam is not given due consideration in traditional ...

Abstract: Several prediction criteria have been proposed to rank asphalt binders based on their rutting performance, and each one has been shown to be able to predict rutting behavior observed in either accelerated loading field ...

Abstract: The mechanical behavior of asphalt binder is highly sensitive to temperature. The manner in which mechanical characteristics change with temperature can also vary significantly from one asphalt to another. With such ...
