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...

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...
