Investigating and Analyzing the Shear Bond Strength of Modified SAMIs in Pavement Systems

Abstract

AbstractShear bond strength is a critical indicator of the bonding efficiency between pavement layers, playing a pivotal role in applications such as the stress-absorbing membrane interlayer (SAMI), which are designed to improve crack resistance and ...Practical ApplicationsThis study investigates improving the shear bond strength between pavement layers by incorporating specific additives into SAMI blends such as LDPE and CKD in specified different ratios according to an approved methodology. The ...
