1. 1. Implementation of the SuperPave IDT analysis procedure

   University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

   Author : Guangli Du; [2010]
   Keywords : SuperPave indirect tensile test; resilient modulus; creep compliance; fracture energy; dissipated creep strain energy;

   Abstract : Cracking is one of the most severe distress modes of asphaltpavements. Thus characterising the fracture resistance properties of asphaltmixtures is the key issue for improving the performance relatedmixture design. READ MORE

3. 2. Towards a Uniform Fracture Mechanics-Based Framework for Flexible Pavement Design

   University essay from KTH/Väg- och banteknik

   Author : Prabir Das; [2009]
   Keywords : Crack growth; Low temperature cracking; Fracture mechanics; Dissipated creep strain energy; Asphalt pavements; Energy Ratio;

   Abstract : Cracking is an important potential failure mechanism for pavement structures. By combining a strain energy-based fracture criterion with conventional fracture mechanics based on the Energy Ratio (ER) concept, crack growth in asphalt can be investigated, and a low temperature Thermal Cracking model (TCMODEL) can be introduced.
