Abstract: The master curve of an asphalt binder provides a relationship between the binder stiffness and reduced frequency over a range of temperatures and frequencies. Accordingly, the master curve makes it possible to predict ...

Abstract: One approach to produce environmentally friendly and cost effective asphalt mixtures is to use more readily available recycled materials like reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and rubber. In this study, ground tire rubber ...

Abstract: The semicircular bending (SCB) test is used to characterize crack propagation of asphalt mixtures at intermediate temperatures using the critical strain energy release rate or the flexibility index, known as the Louisiana ...
