Evaluation Of Crack Propagation Phenomenon In Bituminous Mix
Keywords:
pavement,, gyratory specimens, bituminous, predictive modelsAbstract
Crack propagation was experimentally simulated using semicircular specimen with a crack initiated on one side. The work shows that the rate of crack propagation can be described by a power relationship between the stiffness of the mixture and the number of cycles to failure, which is mixture and binder dependent
