Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete mixtures with thermal stress restrained specimen test results

Creator:

Kanerva, Hannele K.

Abstract:

Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reduction in service life of the pavement. Low temperature cracking has been predicted by regression equations, mechanistic...

Prediction of low temperature cracking of asphalt concrete
Analysis of thermal fatigue distress of asphalt concrete pavements

Creator:

Jackson, N. Mike (Nathaniel Michael)

Abstract:

Thermal cracking of asphalt concrete pavements is responsible for millions of dollars in annual maintenance and rehabilitation costs in the United States and Canada. Thermal cracking is typically associated with low temperatures in northern climates and at high elevations. However, another form of thermal cracking, known as thermal fatigue cracking,...

Selection and performance evaluation of a test method to assess thermal cracking resistance of asphalt-aggregate mixtures

Creator:

Jung, Duhwoe

Abstract:

Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperature cracking results from extremely cold temperatures; thermal fatigue cracking results from daily temperature cycles. Low temperature cracking is...
